20 wins for a Big Ten team should always be rewarded. With the conference tourney upsets, maybe an NIT bid won't be forthcoming, but then the 'Cats should play in that new Vegas tourney, or even in the CBI if it comes to that.
I really, really, really, really would prefer the NIT over a pay-to-play tourney, but agree that any postseason would help the younger core get a few more games in a somewhat elevated stakes environment.
Vegas, baby!!! Yes, this year the Cats will be playing somewhere.
3 wins down the stretch and a back and forth OT game vs. michigan -- we'll play somewhere.
Would be cool to win the first Vegas Tourney
