When Does Clemson Play Again in the Nit
Will Clemson be role of college hoops' postseason?
Volition Clemson exist function of college hoops' postseason?
Clemson'southward men's basketball team had its five-game winning streak stopped in heartbreaking fashion this week at the ACC Tournament this week. The Tigers' recent string of postseason appearances is in jeopardy, as well.
The Tigers on Wednesday looked primed to advance to the quarterfinals at the Barclays Middle before Virginia Tech's Darius Maddox abruptly concluded Clemson'south time in Brooklyn with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer in overtime. At present all Clemson can exercise is wait to detect out if that's a wrap on its season.
With Selection Sun just 2 days abroad, 1 thing is certain: Clemson won't exist playing in the NCAA Tournament. Brad Brownell's team has been a part of the last 4 postseasons (the 2020 postseason was canceled in response to the coronavirus pandemic), including 2 of the last three NCAA Tournaments. But the Tigers needed their recent late-season surge just to, at to the lowest degree for now, avoid their first losing flavor since the 2012-13 entrada, Brownell's third at the helm.
Whether or non Clemson gets a chance to improve on its 17-xvi overall record remains to be seen, but the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) could come calling. The Tigers last played in the NIT to end the 2018-xix season, and Brownell said Clemson would likely accept an invite to this year's tournament if one is extended.
The NIT, largely played on college campuses, consists of 32 teams, just the field is smaller for teams such as Clemson hoping for an at-large invite. Each regular-season conference champion that doesn't make the NCAA Tournament automatically qualifies for the NIT while the first four teams left out of the tournament also go sent to the NIT every bit automatic No. 1 seeds.
There are technically no thresholds that postseason-eligible teams have to meet in society to be invited to the NIT. Clemson was six games above. 500 when it was invited to the 2019 tournament but was just 17-15 when it got an NIT invite two years earlier.
Clemson also had two less ACC wins during that 2016-17 season than it has this season, merely the Tigers enter the weekend at No. 84 in the NET rankings, much lower than the ACC teams ahead of them in the pecking order. Miami (10 seed), Wake Forest (terminal 4 in), Virginia (start four out) and Virginia Tech (next four out) are all squarely on the bubble, according to ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi, and would be selected before Clemson for the NIT if they're left out of the NCAA Tournament.
If the Tigers don't get invited to the NIT, the College Basketball Invitational is another postseason option, though whether Clemson would play in the xvi-team result given the take chances is unclear. The Tigers take passed on the CBI in the past.
