3/12/2006 6:40:42 PM

FSU should run this table.

3/12/2006 6:46:13 PM

how come they dont' do a selection show on broadcast tv

3/12/2006 6:46:51 PM

NCSU would still lose in this first round

they will

3/12/2006 7:01:32 PM

it always seems though that the ACC team that just missed the NCAA always loses in the first round of the NIT

3/12/2006 7:15:11 PM

ND will prolly win the NIT. They have tournament talent but couldnt win any close games.

3/12/2006 7:17:19 PM

Digger Phelps said last week that NC deserved to get in. What an idiot.

3/12/2006 7:18:18 PM

why does anyone even care about the NIT?

3/12/2006 7:23:36 PM

Because its basketball and we are basketball junkies, besides real purists respect the original tourney.

3/12/2006 7:25:09 PM

The 2006 National Invitation Tournament (NIT) will release its bracket live simultaneously on ESPNU, ESPNNews, http://www.nit.org and http://www.ncaasports.com at approximately 9 p.m. on Sunday, March 12, 2006.

The NIT, which for the first time will be selected by an at-large committee, will be comprised of a 40-team field from across the country. This year also marks the first time in the 69-year history of the NIT that the bracket release will be televised live.

Do you think they'll have teams sitting around like the NCAA Tourney Selection Show wondering if they'll get in?

3/12/2006 7:25:59 PM

Hasn't Pitino said Louisville won't even play if they get invited?

Thats bullshit. Keep playing if you want your team to get better, especially as young as UL is.

3/12/2006 7:42:26 PM

Is ESPN having a prize for picking that right?

3/12/2006 8:35:04 PM

i love college basketball as well, but the NIT is so boring

3/12/2006 8:37:07 PM

haha i was just messing with you, i only pay attention to what ACC teams get in and maybe who wins the tournament

3/12/2006 8:38:46 PM

the nit is a decent tournament. whoever wins it could usually get to the sweet sixteen or at least the second round in the real tournament

3/12/2006 8:40:31 PM

Manhattan College all the way!!!

3/12/2006 8:47:44 PM

cincy snubbed for army's womens team

3/12/2006 9:47:35 PM

6 ACC teams in the NIT

Maryland, Miami, Clemson, Virginia, Wake, FSU

3/12/2006 10:15:36 PM

WAKE IS OFF THE NIT BUBBLE!

3/12/2006 10:22:26 PM

oh snap is the ACC gonna dominate the NIT?

3/12/2006 10:24:24 PM

^ With 6 teams, it'd be hard not to...I hope FSU dominates

All 6 of those teams would wipe the floor with Air Force or Utah State. That is what is so wrong about this whole process.

3/12/2006 11:25:03 PM

air force maybe

not utah state

NIT BRACKET:

http://www.fansonly.com/photos/schools/nit/genrel/auto_pdf/cumulative-stats.pdf

Some odd seeding going on...look at Clemson & UVA...um?

Ah well, some ACC team should run amok. What's sad is that our ACC "powerhouse league" is sending more teams to the NIT than the NCAA's this year. We need some work. Also, it's really gay they put some/most of the NIT matchups on the same night as some 1st-round NCAA games. I'd rather watch some of these NIT games than games like Duke/Southern.

wf thanks us for their NIT bid

3/13/2006 3:12:09 AM

Wake got ranked unusually high

well I guess it's not unusual SINCE WE GOT OUR FUCKING ASSES BEAT BY A N00B ASS TEAM

also how did Maryland get a number 1 seed?



[Edited on March 13, 2006 at 4:05 AM. Reason : or perhaps the better question: why do I care, because this is the NIT]

3/13/2006 3:47:01 AM

Virginia is getting its assed kicked by Stanford

3/14/2006 11:14:49 PM

yeah some guy in the crowd just yelled loudly "IT'S OVERRRR!!!!!!!!!"

haha

didn't we decline an NIT bid in '73?

3/14/2006 11:17:29 PM

3/14/2006 11:18:30 PM

LOL @ that Stanford tree walking on the court!

Maryland actually finished the year ranked higher in the RPI than we did. They played a tough schedule according to RPI but they really didn't. I hate the RPI.

3/14/2006 11:26:54 PM

^^ it was probably drunk

3/14/2006 11:27:20 PM

one ACC team down...and by a huge margin

3/14/2006 11:31:41 PM

my brother called me from halton arena last night to say uncc beat up on georgia southern or georgia state or something in the first round - he was way too excited about this, but that's not the point

now they get cincinnati, whom they don't get a chance to play anymore in the regular season after developing a pretty healthy rivalry

tell me the nit selection committee doesnt have a sense of humor either

pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhht

3/15/2006 7:37:27 AM

I think the MVC will win the NIT as well

'75, the year after we won the NC. The decision was made in the locker room immediately following a heartbreaking loss in the ACC title game.

Sloan said he always regretted not waiting until the team had a chance to cool down before calling the vote.
