Bradley to play in the 2025 NIT

CD and Duke are in. Darius and Zek are not. That is what I hear.

I think the staff should come forward and announce if players are choosing not to play on the NIT. There are people that might want to know whether or not to buy tickets for this event if players refuse to play in this Tour.

I don't know what Barking Crow's history is with accuracy, but I think pegging Bradley as a #3 seed in the NIT seems pretty accurate.
The NIT and NCAA have said they do their selections, seedings, and match-ups the same way they do it for the NCAA Tournament, meaning do not set match-ups to favor teams who draw better or have larger arenas. However, I believe that they do pair teams that result in a minimum of travel and expenses. So Loyola would seem like a good possibility. I hope it's not Loyola, since we played them in the first round last year.
 
I would Prefer not to see Loyola again. Penn State would be fun from the big 10! Bottom line for me is why would I go to a game if some of our seniors are opting out! I want to see the best product Bradley can put on the floor. It's a shame because Noone opted out last year that I recall.Its to bad because the NIT is postseason ! The NIT has a rich History and Bradley is a big part with 4 NIT titles! I'll now assume other players from teams will also opt out! It's a different time we're in now and that's sad for such a historic tournament.

Agree, they should look at that and pick another team to come in and play.
 
That’s very disappointing if true.. as a competitor I’d want to play any chance I get, as a teammate, I can’t imagine telling my guys I’m not gonna be out there for them.

Man would I regret that later in life
 
The two biggest problems i have with this if players decide not to play are;
No.1 They took NIL money to play so they should give some of it back if they choose not to play
No.2 Literally quitting on your team mates and coaching staff when they were counting on you to finish the season.

Trust me...a huge lost opportunity to not play.....you can NEVER go back....EVER....a lifetme of regret by not playing if true!:oops::oops::oops::wink::oops:
 
Hope this is just heresay and rumor about certain players not playing. I will be there no matter what. Wonder if that is possible to pay back a portion of NIL money.To me they accepted the NIL money to come to play for BU. In my opinion that seems like a breach of contract where if you do not play you do not get the money owed to you. Just my two cents worth.:-o
