Title: NCAA one-and-done always beats deep NIT run, Mark Gottfried says

It happens every March.

Some team barely gets into the NCAA Tournament and quickly gets ushered out. Just as quickly, someone starts a ridiculous debate.

Is it better to make the NCAA Tournament for 40 minutes, as UAB did, or go to the NIT and make a run to New York, as Alabama is trying to do?

For first-hand insight, I asked an expert who's made short stays and deep runs in each event.

Mark Gottfried laughed.

Ok, wow.  The B'ham news is trying really hard to isolate bama fans.  Name something worse than scarbooger writing an article based on Gottfried's opinion?

I was taught many years ago about the problem with burning bridges behind you, you never know when you might have to travel that same road again. Be careful Mark. ;)

Exactly, it's like they're trying to bankrupt.  Why would you, from a business sense, continue to publish articles which isolate 3/4 of your readers?

This started when Cheezeit came to Auburn. First it was billboards and limos now it's the Bham News. I wonder how much help the News recieved from the Fambly.

You guys need to drink some cold water and calm down. What's the big deal? Gottfried is right, the Big Dance is where it's all at. I was calling for Gottfried to be fired for over 3 years when he was the HC, but he's on the money here. If anything, he's making fun of Gottftried since he was called an expert in losing in the first game of the NCAA Tourney.

Agree. The NIT beats nothing, but it ain't the Big Dance. I hope the Tide wins the NIT to build momentum for next year, but I want us in the NCAA Tourey.

One thing for sure there are a lot of writers and News Papers who don't like Alabama, BUT it doesn't change my love for the The University of Alabama. RTR!

I wonder if MG has a hate for Alabama after what happen to him? It is just a thought I don't really know how he is but it seems when Bama comes up he is sort of downward. RTR!
