NIT Selection Special 8pm

[MisterLucky]

C.M. Newton, the old Alabama coach, and his seven fellow retired coaches made the determination for the seeds. Looks liek they went totally by RPI. Pretty lazy work. What surprised me was the money issue. I thought the NIT got a large chunk of the gate for these games and UMass, our second round opponent if we both get there, has a rather small arena and average around 7,000 fans for their games. I just hope the guys are excited (p*ssed) about this event (snub) and are committed to get to NY at the very least.

The problem is we have some NBA talent on the team and those guys will be making many trips to the Garden in the future. A trip to the garden might be a good motivator for say, Oglesthree or May, but I don't know how much it will motivate Gesell, Woodbury, White, Basabe and Marble.

Our 2 seed could lose giving us a 2nd round game at home. Our 1 seed could lose giving us a 3rd round game at home. There will be teams totally disinterested and teams that really want to win games...so some favorites will lose at home. We will host 1 game for sure and possibly as many as 3 if we take care of business on the court.

You really had me convinced we were making the real tourney...care to expound on what happened?

I saw Maryland play in Evanston and I would say they are prolly better than us. I expect them to make the final four.

Well, O'Keefe, you were right about Maryland in the Final Four. We'll find out soon if they are better than us.
