What Will the Niners First Round NIT Matchup Be?

My guess is that we host the regular season champion of the SoCon or Big South. Whichever one doesn’t win their respective tourney will get an auto NIT bid. I think an @ UNC-CH game will not happen, because they won’t finish .500.

What do you guys think? And if you’re answer is the NCAA tournament, you are an optimist of gigantic proportions.

PS-- Fire Lutz

If I was a mod I’d probably ban you for wasting our front page with this crap

Why, it is a legit question save the last comment

gtfo.

Our 12u girls hoop team at the Baxter YMCA is undefeated. And we run killer inbounds plays. We’ll take a game @ Halton vs Ian and company.

This thread is disgusting.

Hmm…

I guess it’s just a matter of seconds before NA calls you a dick for posting this…get ready…

NA?

Oh yeah…I didn’t post it…so you’re OK.

This entire thread is stupid.

I hope we host uconn.

Wow…I seriously cannot believe this. We are 18-7. 18-7 with a schedule that still gets us in the dance if we do what we need to do. Was tonight a road bump? Yes. Are we done? Absolutely not. I understand the frustration, but if our guys had this kind of attitude, I’d hate to see where we’d be. Win some close ones. Lose some tough ones. Shouldn’t have lost tonight, but Duq. is no cupcake. Show same pride in what we’ve accomplished and where we can still go. I think any honest Niner fan would agree that if at the beginning of the season, our worst loss at this point was to the Dukes, than they’d be very pleased.

GO NINERS!!!

We’re in the dance if we win the rest of our games. We’re probably in the dance if we win all but one of our remaining games.

this is our ONLY loss to worse than a Top 40 rpi team.

currently we’re going to host Louisiana Tech

I knew Bobby would buckle under the pressure

they were 2-8 on the road

I think we still have a shot to dance:

Xavier- must win
St J- must win
GW - must win
RI- loss is ok
UR - must win

12-4 + good showing in Acity

I get that. Bad bad loss - especially since our only home loss was to GT. No doubt this is frustrating, but we’re still set to win 20+ this year with a legit chance to still dance. I know this sucks but we still have every opportunity to bring it if we play the way we have most of the year.

Dukes 2-8 on the road…losses to Western Carolina & IUPUI…YIKES!

Well, guess that only leaves one thing in common with WCU…

No way we should have lost to them in Halton, but Duquesne is Jeckyl-Hyde. They get crushed by Xavier and Temple on the road, yet they take Dayton to OT in Dayton before losing and did beat GW in DC. IUPUI is the only bad team that they have lost to on the road. Western Carolina is 19-8 with one of the same marquis wins we have, so no shame in losing to them at their place this season. Duqusne’s other road losses were to WVU, ODU, and URI.

yeah, but louisville had their guards back for that.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say we get Alabama for our first NIT game.
