Nit

[OrangeBalls]

Do you feel it honestly has a negative effect?

I like it.

Does nothing for this current team IMO. No defense is played in that league.

Looking ahead to the NIT, UT will probably be a favorite to win it.

 

[apsuVol92]

when does the NIT start? and when will we know what seed we are?

 

[WA_Vol]

Selection is usually the day after the NCAA bids go out

 

[apsuVol92]

thanks man

I am confused, what is the NIT? I thought that was the NCAA tourney...

(NOOB alert)

Screw it. Im looking forward to watching more games. Even if it is the NIT. Season exceeded my expectations.

Yep, me too!

Ref missed a call at the end

Underrated post is underrated

Personally, I'm looking forward to spring football. Basketball season is over as far as I'm concerned. Although I will watch the vols play in the NIT just because I'm a VFL.

Consolation tourney for teams that don't make it to the dance (NCAA tourney).

Not the same day? I had thought it came out sometime afterwards.

As long as we're at home...team's had some difficulties nearly all year playing away from it.

NIT is the equal of the Liberty Bowl...

I would be shocked if we are any lower than a 2 seed...and will probably get the 1 seed. Keep in mind we have a former coach on the committee as well as CCM's mentor.

You might be right. I thought it was the Monday after.

The NIT bracket I saw has UT projected as a 3rd seed. So I guess they play at home unless they are the a 1 or 2 seed?

Ah, thanks. Is winning it something to be proud of?

It isn't a bad thing, the winner of the NIT is traditionally ranked 25th in the final polls.

yeah 25th in the polls

As I recall, it comes out after the NCAA selection show...maybe around 8 or 9 pm. First round play starts on Tuesday so they have to give enough time for tickets to be purchased, etc.
