The team has got to learn how to win games in crunch time and it has to start believing that it could be really good next year.FWIW - I think they lose right away in either event, so the NCAA 64 (not the first four in stuff) is best.
If they are selected to the NIT my bet is they get a #2 type seed. HOWEVER, the NIT would likely declare that Stanford can't host. They would claim it was for Coronavirus, but they really would want to claim that because Stanford never gets fans to the NIT events while other programs can get 10K in the stands.
An early NIT loss would be really bad, I would prefer they play with house money in the NCAAs. If they lose early in the NCAAs at least they were in the show. If they win one or better yet two then they could really be ready for a better NCAA experience in 2021.
