I count 13 autobids, although a few leagues would have had bids anyway. Maybe Valpo - Baylor in the CIT.

NYTIMES Magazine has a lead article on Perry Jones,Scott Drew and Baylor basketball. And yes,Valpo,Homer and Bryce are also mentioned in the article. Can you buy the NYT in NWI? If so,buy it.

If Valpo misses out on the NIT, it'll be because of the selection committee's love of undeserving high-majors.

Hosting Iona in the CIT.
Bummer about the NIT.
Still excited to get out the ol' "Drew Crew" Shirt at least once more!

Drat. I had a dream last night about playing Harvard in the NIT ... that would have been sweet.
From where we were on Feb 16th to not even making the NIT. Pretty unbelievable, ugh. At least we're getting used to being irrelevant so it doesn't even phase us anymore....

Rink, haven't you realized yet that Valpo fans aren't allowed to be negative because there's always a silver lining and we don't want to make anyone feel bad?

Rink, haven't you realized yet that Valpo fans aren't allowed to be negative because there's always a silver lining and we don't want to make anyone feel bad? No one is "getting used to being irrelevant." Have you missed all the people who have said they were disappointed that we didn't get into the NIT? And absolutely no one was happy about frittering away 1st place in the HL. Look, I realize that negativity is a 4-letter word these days, and I agree it sucks. So, try bringing negativity that is on-target instead of missing by a mile. It'll be harder to dismiss. Suck it up, just like you ask this team to do.

There is some ring of truth to this comment. There are some posters on this board that just jump on anyone for saying something negative about Valpo.

Nothing wrong with some controlled disagreements. What is really "classless" are the personal attacks on forum members as well as (coaches and players which have happened before). That's what shouldn't be permitted, as long as you have the University as part of the forum's name.

So, try bringing negativity that is on-target instead of missing by a mile. It'll be harder to dismiss. Suck it up, just like you ask this team to do. I agree with stl on this. The point isn't to criticise anyone who is negative or critical of Valpo, but rather to jump on just dumb posts. When someone says "Butler is head and shoulders" better than Valpo, it is just stupid or at the best, uninformed. It is the stuff of those who will never be satisfied unless we win the national championship--on a regular basis. Sure I was disappointed about how thwe season came to an end and what might have been. I posted several times about it and on occasion was less than charitable concerning our effort. Still, we played at a high level for most of the year, won some big games including beating Butler--that team "head and shoulders" better than us, and moved closer to where we want the team to be--realistically--competing for a conference championship, getting back to the dance, and winning a game or two. All very realistic goals.
