N.I.T

Yippee, the NIT. F us.

Ugh!  If someone asked me at the beginning of the season what would be. The worst possible outcome for this season, I would have said a 1 seed in the NIT. Granted, at least team made the season fun. At times.

Yeah it sucks, but it is what it is. Take what we got and make the best of it and try to win the NIT and comeback next year with a bit more understanding of how those early loses can kill you.

The bracket for our section is posted below. If we advance on Tuesday we will play on campus against the winner of Green Bay and Belmont somewhere from Thursday through Monday. If we advance again, then next Tuesday or Wednesday.will face the winner of the bottom of the bracket possibly Illinois or Clemson.

Big East needs to kick some ass and put the country on notice.  The tournament is set up for that and so s the NIT.  Get it done and set the conference up for future success.  It might be a blessing in disguise that at we only got four in this year.  5-0 after Friday is very likely.

I actually like Creighton's matchups. They could go far.

I'm going on Tuesday. I hope some of you join me.

No doubt. Xavier winning a play in game should lead the national news in most places and then when SJU advances to the second round of the NIT the sky's the limit.
