Here is the bracket

http://www.nit.org/pre-bracket.cfm

What interests me is Temple vs UCLA in the second round and possibly Temple vs Memphis in the third round!

2

Temple vs Memphis?

The rematch of Chaney vs Calipari.

2 words: Go Owls.

3

First round matchups (Nov. 14-15)

Boston U @ Duke
Manhattan @ Seton Hall

Sam Houston St @ Mizzou
Drexel @ Princeton

Miami-OH @ Alabama
Wisconsin-Milwaukee @ Memphis

Army @ Temple
New Mexico St @ UCLA

BTW, Mizzou plays at Davidson on December 7th.

why does Mizzou get an easy 2 games. Probably both at home?

Squid, don't sell Pretty Boy Quin & Co. too short there. After all, the Mighty Mizzou Tigers lost at home to Davidson last season, then followed that up with back-to-back Ls in Kansas City to Creighton and Houston. :rolleyes:

The NIT (pre and post season) is notorious for setting up the brackets and home games so the "name" teams get a sweet ride to The Garden. Believe it. It's all in the Benjamins, folks.

Better Question: Have we EVER BEEN in the Preseason NIT?

For whatever reason, C-USA never pitched us as the conference rep in the Preseason NIT. Hopefully the A-10 will…

We're good enough to beat the name teams without being a name team ourselves, thus eliminating us from the pre season NIT pool. See?
