I see that NC declined to play in the NIT. Taking a lot heat. Tom Penders has pretty direct comments—

It's their choice to not accept the bid. But it shows their arrogance. They aren't anything special even though they think they deserve special treatment.

It wasn't about arrogance.

It was about a disfunctional locker room in which several of the players have already "quit". I wouldn't be surprised if there's some major news about RJ Davis in the portal soon, and others.

Hubey wasn't going to be able to field a team for the NIT.

You could be on to something there. I was wondering about Davis and if he'd be in the portal and just wanted out. They had indications of some discord or players just not giving a s%$t. We'll see.

Probably better to do this than to go to Robert Morris and give a 40% effort


...or host George Washington and give a 25% effort.

I imagine much of dysfunction stems from arrogance.

It's actually refreshing that they took Pitt and respected game results (Better record and 2 head-to-head wins by Pitt) over potential TV ratings.

Thought there were issues there too, for some reason I thought I either heard or read that there was Caleb Love problems. May be completely off about this.

Caleb Love is the biggest chucker I think I've ever seen. Cant imagine its a lot of fun to play with him

That would be my uneducated guess. He’s an all about me kind of player.

The problem between RJ Davis and Caleb Love has almost nothing to do with on the court.

It is a Champaignie/X/Toney type situation...... if all the rumors are true.

UNC sports including (especially) basketball should still be within the ten years or so of Death Penalty they should have been dealt for the rampant academic fraud that was uncovered there.

I heard something like this too in Greensboro. No idea if there is anything to it.
