OK it sucks to be in the NIT, but this is an opportunity for Purvis to stay hot and continue to build for next year, and for UConn to play some good out of conference foes and build for next year. Temple is a #1 seed and I would not be surprised, if UConn advances, to play them later in this tournament.
I don't know if Cassel or Facey will be back but a good opportunity to get both some postseason game action.
Realistically, UConn has/had a better chance to advance in this field then in the NCAA field anyway, and the more games these guys can get against good teams, the better.
