i like how Providence clearly pulled strings to host as a 5 seed. I see no reason why UMiami would turn down the chance to host. Its not like the Miami regional will make a big difference. Also, we play in our arena and not the AA.

[Mvemjsunpx]

You don't even learn who you play until Sunday night, then you have to play on Tuesday? That kinda sucks.

[dbackjon]

Davidson, Rhode Island and Weber State play tonight

[dgreco]

I am rooting for URI, but I would like to see a team like Niagara with no talk of NCAA make a very deep run in the NIT.

[dgreco]

so it is clear the SDSU and probably PSU should of been in the NCAA's. SDSU has been blowing through competition.

[dgreco]

Congrats to a CFB win for Penn State.
