Renewing that Niagara matchup.

This is where the series left off

I was at that game. The Burrell technical sent them in a tailspin, and they never recovered. Yet another terrible job by Norm Roberts. Man, I hate that guy a little more every time I think of him.

Could work out in our favor if we get to play all 3 of the other big-time teams at MSG.

So we are maybe playing- minnesota, georgia, or gonzaga- in half empty MSG
And playing Tulane in front of 750 people.
While Nova will play Michigan in a packed garden, and Syracuse will play Texas at a packed Barclays. Someone should be fired for this.

SU isn't packing Barclays. They are going to struggle massively next year. They return less than I can remember them ever returning. And don't think their fans are so wonderful. If they struggle, in a NY minute, it's "they suck. Why bother going?"

@AdamZagoria: Syracuse will host St. John's Dec. 6 in the Carrier Dome

@AdamZagoria: @2real_AP St. John's probably has a more experienced group of guards than Syracuse, which will have a freshman PG.

I am pretty sure we are playing Minnesota

@JonRothstein: St. John's will host Long Beach State on Monday 12/22/14 at Carnesecca Arena, source told @CBSSports. #sjubb

Long Beach State looking like a sneaky good team in the Big West. Dangerous back court with Mike Caffey and fmr UCLA guard Tyler Lamb.

@wildjays: NIT Tip-Off will have set semifinal matchups - Gonzaga vs. Georgia, Minnesota vs. St. John's - Andy Katz

The NIT Season Tip-Off will no longer be a bracketed event and instead will be a classic with set semifinal matchups at Madison Square Garden in New York -- pitting Gonzaga against Georgia and Minnesota versus St. John's -- after the NCAA could only get eight teams in the field instead of 16, a source told ESPN.

The Gonzaga-Georgia and Minnesota-St. John's semifinals will be played on Wednesday, Nov. 26, with a consolation and championship game on Friday, Nov. 28.

The NCAA-run event will add a new wrinkle due to the reduced field and feature a doubleheader at MSG on Thanksgiving (Nov. 27) with the other four teams, as LIU plays Stony Brook and Saint Joseph's takes on Western Kentucky.

The NIT Season Tip-Off will have four games at campus sites prior to the eight teams' arrival in New York, with Saint Joseph's playing at Gonzaga, Western Kentucky at Minnesota, Stony Brook at Georgia and LIU at St. John's. Dates and times will be released by the NCAA later in the week.

The NCAA is scheduling a few Division II schools to get a fourth game in the event for some of the teams. The source said not all of the schools wanted a fourth game.

The NIT Season Tip-Off's previous format was for the four hosts to play two home games in a traditional format, with the winners earning a trip to MSG. The other tournaments that end at a neutral site in New York, Brooklyn, Las Vegas and Kansas City have set semifinal matchups, regardless of what happens in games on campus.

The NIT Season Tip-Off will continue in 2015, but more likely as an eight-team field, as a 16-team field is too hard to fill.

We get Minnesota at MSG on Wednesday November 26 and either Gonzaga or Georgia on Black Friday.

We also get a game against LIU at CA.

I really hope we aren't one of the teams playing a D2 team. Would rather not have a game than play a D2.

I would wish there was a way to just get another game.  # of wins is big come tourney time.

Well according to Seth Greenberg, Mark Few may have the best team he has ever had at Gonzaga and that is saying a lot.

Sure looks like if SJU wins their semifinal game it will almost certainly be the ZAGS in the final.
