Then watch a little Cal baseball/softball and get hang on until Cal football.BeachedBear said:ASU, Colorado, DePaul, Butler - based solely on W/L seem to be in Cal's range (everyone else seemed to do better). I'm guessing that each of those schools may be more attractive than Cal to be invited - so wouldn't be surprised to learn that Cal did not even get an invite.KoreAmBear said:Hard to figure out how it went down. Did we not get invited or did we decline?oskidunker said:Addicted-to-TopDog said:
Out of the teams that declined an invitation to the NIT last year, can you name any that capitalized by improving their rosters and getting into the Big Dance this year?
Colorado in the Crown at 14-20. Cal not in. Bad omen for possible transfers out.

But for all the reasons on this thread and many others, I also wouldn't be surprised to learn that Cal DID get invited and turned it down. Either way, I am also curious to know if we did or didn't.
And the same W/L cursory review of the NIT bracket indicates that those teams were more attractive than the CROWN.
