2010 NIT Thread
There are too many teams in the NIT to say anything in a post without writing a book. Let's just say that my bracket has NOBODY higher than a 3 seed in the semis and a 7 seed taking the title.
I have Weber taking out Memphis State in the semis to take on UCONN (who beats North Carolina in the semis) for the title. Gotta stay loyal to the Sky team with a history of making noise in postseason tournaments.

SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

Re: NIT
I do have CCU taking out the Blazers, but that's the end of the line. Sorry.

To be honest the only reason they are there is the regular season title, which guaranteed them a spot.
Re: NIT
Here is my bracket for the NIT
Top half left side
Illinois
Kent State
Illinois State
Cincinnati
Illinois
Illinois State
Illinois
(I'm not sure Illinois State wants to be there though...if Osirus Eldridge doesn't show up then Cinci take them out, but Illinois still takes down Cincy.
Bottom half left side
Arizona State
Texas Tech
Memphis
Mississippi
Arizona State
Missisippi
Mississippi
For the right hand side I got
Top half
Va Tech
UCONN
Wichita State
Rhode Island
Va Tech
Wichita State
Wichita State
Bottom half
Mississippi State
North Carolina
South Florida
UAB
Mississippi State
UAB
Mississippi State
My final four looks like Illinois vs. Mississippi and Wichita State vs. Mississippi State
I've got Mississippi vs Wichita State in the finals
I'll take Wichita State to win it.
Of course that is if Wichita State actually wants to be in the NIT. If not I still have them Final Four, I'll just take Mississippi State over Mississippi in the finals.

Re: NIT
If (and that's a big IF) USF can hit some outside shots as opposed to hitting almost none in the Big East tourney. They can make a decent run. Not saying they'll win but they can be dangerous.

Re: NIT
Hey it worked for us! Except for the students ( 1500) to be exact all tickets were $12.00 and we sold all 3500 seats. So our first ever post season tourney and its home before 5000 fans. We will need all the help we get. Illinois isnt Kansas but they are good enough.dbackjon wrote:bodoyle wrote:

Jacksonville's player banked in a 25 foot 3-pointer as time expired to give Jacksonville a 1-point victory.
What a horrendous end to a very promising season.

Re: 2010 NIT Thread
Cincy beats Weber, 76-62.
The Wildcats had a season-high 23 turnovers. Cincinnati was among the worst three-point shooting teams in the nation, but went 11-28 from the arc in this game. Damian Lillard scored nearly half of Weber's points and was the only Wildcat in double figures.

76-64 win for URI over Northwestern. Always nice to beat an FBS school. Looking forward to a home game vs. the winner of Witchita St and Nevada.
