Go Blue Raiders!!

 

[markfromj]

I was kidding in my Iowa/Iona post.

I figured.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

Kentucky gets home cooking in Indy

 

[General Tso]

Wow, MN. This committee just lost all credibility

 

[Franisdaman]

SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC!

 

[iahawks10]

Alford on the 3 line again

 

[StormHawk42]

Iowa officially out now. I don't think Cuse is gonna make it.

 

[markfromj]

It's official.

 

[spiderland]

Kent State. Bet the house.

 

[iahawks10]

Burst

 

[navyrules]

Not a huge UCLA fan, but them being a 3 seed ?

 

[StormHawk42]

Alford on the 3 line again

Flashbacks. Sigh.

 

[And1Hawk]

KState stinks but got in.

 

[StormHawk42]

Nice to see an EIGHT-LOSS team with a No. 1 seed. Maybe Duke can be the first #1 to lose to a #16. It's gonna happen sometime.

They're a 2 seed

 

[83Hawk]

Minnesota is going to lose their first game.

 

[Eburghawk]

So who will get the 4th #1 seed?

Syracuse? !

 

[Underscore2]

Burst

Yea seeing Kansas State = bad news.

 

[iahawkeyes17]

Flashbacks. Sigh.

Alford could lose as 3 seed for 3rd time. Also lost when New Mexico got beat by Harvard in 3/14 matchup.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

Last bracket - where will jNW be seeded?

Wow true. Forgot about that.

How to watch NIT Selection Show:
Time: Sunday, March 12 at 8:30 p.m. ET
TV: ESPNU
Online streaming: WatchESPN

 

[GoHawks2009]

I'm not at all a Kentucky fan but better record and won both regular season and tourney titles. Yet UNC gets the 1 because the committee values winning regular season titles???

Okay....

And that stems to other questions brought up by some of these selections.

Creighton-Oregon 2nd round was a pure "TV ratings/story/etc matchup" pick by the committee rather than just properly seeding. No way it just "worked out" that way.

Last bracket - where will jNW be seeded?

What does the j mean

 

[StormHawk42]

Last bracket - where will jNW be seeded?

I think in the 8/9 with Zags

 

[Franisdaman]

If we had an elite PG, would we be in?

 

[navyrules]

If we had an elite PG, would we be in?

We had the ball in an elite pg hand vs. Minny and couldn't win so... NO.

 

[StormHawk42]

Good lord a 9 seed with 15 losses.

 

[Underscore2]

Wow Vandy high.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

WOW! Iowa to the NIT

 

[ShawneeHawk 1]

Lol Vandy.

 

[navyrules]

WOW! Iowa to the NIT

Half right....

 

[Hawksfor3]

Gonzaga, and Nigel Williams-Goss. Look out!

 

[spiderland]

Good lord a 9 seed with 15 losses.

Apparently, it's no longer important to actually WIN games...

 

[And1Hawk]

15 loss Vandy a #9 seed!!!!

They lost to 7 win Missouri by 20+ points.

 

[markfromj]

We had the ball in an elite pg hand vs. Minny and couldn't win so... NO.

Who?

 

[navyrules]

Who?

Late in the game.. think about it... I may or may not be serious.

 

[GoHawks2009]

Vanda a 9
Minny a 5
Wisconsin an 8?
Wichita State a 10
ISU a 5
West Virginia a 4
Kansas State being in at all.......lmao

Lots of underlying BS went into putting these teams where they were put.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

Indiana to NIT also?

 

[GoHawks2009]

No Illinois State. That's too bad.

 

[83Hawk]

No Syracuse....at least the committee got that right.
