Georgia basketball: Fans shouldn’t groan at another NIT birth

The National Invitational Tournament. It’s mention draws the groans of college basketball fans from around the country. The Georgia basketball fan base is no exception.

In fact, Georgia basketball echoes that sentiment as much as any program in the country. The Bulldogs have competed in the NIT 14 times and the list of schools with more NIT appearances is miniscule. Out of the 13 other SEC schools, only Alabama (16) has been in more NITs.

The dissatisfaction fans have with the NIT is understandable. Georgia fans want more out of the basketball team, and rightfully so.
