The best thing about the Buckeyes going to the NIT is that the freshmen got valuable extra playing time. Believe me, I am not going to be cheering madly when they raise the NIT Champion banner at the Schott next season, but I'll give a golf clap. I think if this team were in the NCAA, they had a 25% chance of making it to the 2nd round, and a 1% chance of making it to the Sweet 16, and that would be it. So by taking the NIT bid, they at least got five more games and who knows how many more practices than they would have had sitting on their rumps back home. It'll hopefully make them better next year. They'll need it.
Oh, and I tried to read li'l Johnny's post, but halfway through my IQ had dropped to the point where self-sustained breathing became too intellectually taxing and I passed out.
