NIT

Anyone watching this horrible officiating at Rutgers?

 

[stateofmind]

Guess I'm the only one. Heck of a game despite the officials.

Lol Butgers

I feel so bad for them. Guess it's the old, we didn't care since we were screwed by the NCAA.

Congratulations, Jimmy Hofstra.

 

[stateofmind]

Man our fans think we are too far off the court. Check Vandy's arena. I forgot how weird that place is.

Rutgers didn’t even wanna be there lol not surprised they lost.

 

[cdface]

crazy because Rutgers just took Purdue to the wire.

Saw 5 minutes of the Colorado game last night. In Colorado, half the seats, or more, were empty.

 

[Cardinal2001]

So just like Big 8 days?

Yep, they were checked-out. Everybody gave UNC crap for not taking the invite. To be honest, I didn’t blame them.

1-seed Clemson loses at home to Morehead State.

TBH I think that opting out of the NIT to get a head start on the next season might become more common from higher level basketball programs. If so, then good. I'd rather have Santa Clara get an opportunity in a tournament like that than UNC or Kentucky

That might do it for Brad Brownell...

He did get a "vote of confidence" from the AD before the game started....

The P6 schools that this is good for are the Nebraska's of the P6 group. A team that doesn't make the NCAA hardly ever, so if you have a decent team and think you can grow it, then it allows you an opportunity to put them through a tournament game set up. Otherwise, teams that make the NCAA on a regular basis don't care about it.

I guess Iowa is another example of team that its good for since they say finals of the NIT is better than losing first round of the NCAA.

I watched the first half of the Az State/Nevada last night just to gloat how far Steve Alford has dropped in the coaching world. Nevada should have gone to the NIT just so he would have been on a smaller stage so his lack of coaching ability would be seen by less people.

Agree, another example of being a good player not necessarily translating into a good coach.
