Why the NIT is good for UK

10. We don't have to skip out on work to watch UK's games.

9. UK got to play a home game in a post-season
tournament! And on top of that, it was in Memorial
Coliseum, which was special for all involved -- players, fans,
coaches, broadcasters.

8. Our games are covered nationally on ESPN, so folks
outside of Kentucky don't have to go to a sports bar.
And it's a network which actually knows how to broadcast sports (CBS
Can't Broadcast Sports)
7. The players will get to visit a state that they would not have otherwise
(Nebraska!).

6. UK has a better chance at making ESPN's Top 10
(i.e., Perry Stevenson, no 6).

5. UK got a recruit to sign after seeing the NIT game at
Memorial Coliseum.

4. We won't lose any money on an NIT pool.

3. UK is still playing after the first weekend of March Madness.

2. UK might actually win a couple of games, helping to
stay in front of UNC and Kansas in total wins.

1. They are still my Kentucky Wildcats and I will follow
them no matter what!!!
