Summer school valedictorians: The running NIT thread

Dear Roy:
Thanks for letting your season go to hell.
Sincerely:
The NIT Search Committee

 

Made my day.

 

You mean besides Roy Williams, Rick Stansbury, Seth Greenberg, Bruce Weber, Jim Calhoun, Bobby Gonzalez, no, not really.......

 

FWIW, a co-worker of mine was pissed that VCU got the NIT snub.

So some people do care about this thing.

 

Still a smaller % of the overall amount of D1 hoops teams in the postseason than in football.

 

If your school is a mid-major, bitching about not making the NIT is legit.

Otherwise, it's just embarrassing.

 

Here's a bracket from the Trib website.

See if you can spot the typos.

Noted.

For long-distance alums, the NIT does provide one last opportunity to see your school on national television. But it's certainly nothing to brag about, or whine about when your school is left out. As much as you may want to. Because it's been like a decade since you saw post season play.

 

lol @ 'NIT snub'

Holy crap, that's funny.

 

Just saw that UNC is dusting off Carmichael Auditorium for its game against William & Mary. It'll be the first men's game in there since '86.

Should make for a cool atmosphere for an NIT game; certainly better than a half-empty Dean Dome. I probably wouldn't go otherwise, but getting a chance to see a men's game in Carmichael is enough to pique my interest.
