Are the men better off in the NIT this year?

Yeah, you and Tini are right. We should just believe. That's all we need, just believe, no matter what the facts suggest. That'll get us through! We're athletic! Sweet 16, baby! Yeah!

The only advantage of missing the tournament would be that it might force Tad to make some tough changes. Changes that may not necessarily be made if they keep up with the status quo of making the tourney.
Still, I think it is common sense that making the tournament is better than missing it.
Playing 4-5 more games in the NIT really isn't a big boost. Sometimes you see programs use a NIT appearance to have a deep run, and then they have a deep NCAA run the next year, but more often than not that does not happen

the only way we make the tourney guys is if the team does something pretty awesome in conference play. Which would mean the team has gelled and overcome the issues they've had so far. I'm all about that happening. There are no arguments to be made against the tourney. None.
I find tini just as annoying as you and agree with him about as much.
I don't think we'll make the dance (I'm sure most fans know/agree), but to say it is "better" to make the NIT over the dance is absurd. It never is.
And your "better" question had nothing to do with the topic, you just seemed like you wanted to chime in and randomly insult the team, which is fine I suppose. They have been pretty bad at times this year. I just find you annoying.
Go back to coaching your high school team comprised of talentless scrubs before they turned into elite shooters by practicing.

Wow. You're in a parallel universe, apparently. I never suggested, and never would, that making the NIT is better than the big dance. That was someone else. I just simply believe that we have an uphill climb just to get to the NIT (and I don't think we get there, but will be the first to admit when I'm wrong.) So if we don't make the NIT and go to the CBI, seems like a legit question as to what it does to our program to drop that far off.
As for your last quip, it was someone else who suggested quite awhile ago that our underperforming guards could turn into shooters by spending more time in the gym. That person was not me. IMO Talton, Stalzer, JHop, etc. ain't turning into sharpshooters no matter how many thousands of jumpers they shoot. They don't have it.
So, uh, try again.
I'm going to suggest that you think about this post in light of the purpose of allbuffs, your presence here, the current status of the football team, and the thing called Irony.
Hmm. I've been obsessed with CU basketball since I can remember, so I've been through way worse.
Like snow already pointed out, the football team is far worse, yet still receives a ton more attention on the forum. I think you should mosey on back to the football side.
I'm trying to find the Cross Country forum…..
had forms of this discussion a dozen times in my life about my teams. Given the choice between a team I love being one of the last teams in (and likely to lose in Round 1), or going to the NIT with a reasonable shot of winning, I believe:
for an established team, going to the NCAA is better, even if one and done. I consider CU to be an "established team"
for a team with no history, no recent success and rebuilding from nothing, I'd rather see them make the NIT and go deep.

Just from a recent experience, but in 2011 (when CU was definitely not established) we experienced a Dance snub of Greenberg-VT level proportions. While I'm glad we made the most of being screwed and came out and made the most of the situation in the NIT…there was still no point in which I thought "this is better than one and done in the NCAA Tournament".
I just had to look up who won the NIT last season. It's not a good sign if I'm having to look up who won a recent college hoops tournament.
edit: oh you're one of those guys who feels the need to come here and tell us how good the dick ****** are

The Buffs might be lucky to GET an invite!!
That still doesn't mean they're better off in the NIT than the Dance. Original thread topic is one of the dumber ones we've ever had here, which is saying something.
I know I'll be pissed off at the missed opportunity if the Buffs find a way to win the Pac-12 tournament.
This has really been a tough year for CU athletics...
I hope they're smart enough to throw the championship game.
Maybe when the NIT was the top tournament, when was that, like 1950? Come on DBT, help me out.

Times that winning the NIT means more than going 1 and one in the NCAA: 0
This debate is ****ing stupid. The NIT is never better, no matter how you try and slice it. What's next saying that if boulder hosts and NIT game we can save the broke ass Athletic dept some travel money?
C'mon - if we want this to be a contender in a power 5 conference, the NIT is not the place where we want to be cutting our teeth.

No doubt all the Clone fans are pissed off about winning too many games and then compounding the problem by winning the Big 12 tourney. They're supposed to have a great team next year and that 1-and-done NCAA appearance was a missed opportunity to build extra momentum at the NIT.
