Re: What's the best RPI you've had miss out on an at large bid?

Ill be honest, In all of my legacies, which has been a lot, but most havent gone too many years, I have only missed the tournament two times. Kinda crazy to me. Lots of those years were average seasons where I was able to make a conference tourny run and get an autobid. More times than not, I dont play many games the first year or 2 and I end up with like 5 or 6 losses heading into conference tourney, where Ill either win the tourny or lose at some point, but my record usually has me in.

The 2 times I didnt make it, 1 was in my longest legacy. I started at East Tenn St. Was there for 5 years, made the tourny all 5, then went to UL-Lafayette for 3, where they were a 92 ovr when i got there and had no trouble making it. After that, I decided to go back to ETSU, and that team was attrocious. Went like 11-18, lost in the first round of the conf tourny, and I happily retired, since that was my plan going into that season anyway.

The other time was in my Fordham legacy. I didnt start there, and i forget where i started, but after the 2nd yr i left and went there. The team wasnt good, but I had a solid record of something like 20-10, where we lost in the conf semis and were 4th or 5th in the A10 in the league. This actually may have been my 2nd yr at Fordham i dont remember for sure, but we didnt make it to the tourny or NIT.

Ive still never gone to an NIT, and I know thats not really a goal, but at somepoint I do hope to go there once and win it so i dont have to go back haha. I think with this current legacy i have, my San Diego St team is good but Im not good enough with them where i could see this team making the NIT. IDK tho I guess we will see
