I know there are a lot of baby tournaments in the early NCAA and am curious. Are the games in these tournaments counted in the team that goes on to win or place in the tournament...how do I say it....are the games part of the team's record. For example, Freds team goes to the NIT and wins out....6 games they play...other teams dont play all 6 games...are all 6 games counted on Freds Team record for the season???? For other example Genes team gets knocked out first game...no mo games. They are now 1 and no mo. That is my question.

Yes, they are included in their overall record. Most of the early season tournaments have losing brackets as well, so teams usually play the same amount of games whether winning or losing.

Yeah they count, they are non conference games. I think all the preseason tournaments have losers brackets, so they all play the same amount of games.

Thank you. Most appreciated.

I was riding high until SAturday. Both my Jayhawks and my Seahawks were on top of the world. What a difference a day makes.

Most of those tournaments are 8-team 3 game backets.
