LSU has declined an invitation to participate in this year’s NIT, LouisianaSports.net has learned. A spokesperson cited the team’s current injury situation and limited available players on the roster as the primary reason for turning down the bid. The SEC receives two automatic NIT bids that are awarded to the top two teams in the league that did not make the NCAA Tournament. With a record 14 SEC teams earning NCAA bids, that left only LSU and South Carolina available for the NIT. South Carolina also declined their NIT bid. LSU finishes the season 14-18 (3-15 SEC).

South Carolina declined too, so both teams that didn't make NCAA tournament decided to throw in the towel.

Don’t you get more practices and a home game? The sec forced the NIT to automatically take 2 teams and both declined.

I know many on here think that’s the right move. I don’t. I would have liked to watch them again. I don’t care if they lost, it would have been another chance to see my favorite team play (no matter how bad they are).

Which should mean that McMahon is gone but Woodward still sleeping on the job.

I said it the other day.

Admin didn’t want it.
McMahon didn’t want it.
Players didn’t want it.
Fans didn’t want it.

As if we didn't need another reason to not keep McManiac

Considering most of the team is hitting the portal, not surprised. Idc how much money LSU thinks they can throw at guys and get them to flip.. no one is coming here until we prove that we can be competitive.

Smart move on Mac’s part. Losing to a small college would have been another strike

Just too many players "hurt". Poor Matt can't catch a break.

Declining just so the season is over, not wanting to compete 1 more time shows they need to move on.

They play on Tuesday or Wednesday so an extra paractice doesn't help anything.

SEC got 14 teams in real tourney. They care about the NIT about as much as LSU cares about basketball.
