NIT Bracketology

[orangetennis]

I figured it was about time for this thread. Below are two seperate projections for the NIT. Both list UNI, but as different seeds. We'll see how this plays out over the last few weeks of the season:

Re: NIT Bracketology

I would like to believe that we're better than an 8 seed. It would be nice to host a game, but I'll take anything we get.

Re: NIT Bracketology

If we get a home game we need to make sure we email the band department ourselves as they, and the athletic dept. apparently do not communicate too well on these things.


It's sad that I'm not joking one bit.

Re: NIT Bracketology

I don't see how we could possibly be on the NIT "bubble." We should solidly be in.

If you provide the email address, I will definitely join in sending an email. Heck, I'd even be willing to call them as well.

Re: NIT Bracketology

Not sure if I should provide the director's email on here since I'm sure some people may not be mature enough to use it appropriately but it's not difficult to find on the UNI site.

http://www.bankrollsports.com/blog/nit-bracketology/ bumped up to a 6

"while Northern Iowa is still going in the right direction and feels like a team that is going to get into the NIT when push comes to shove. The loss to Denver hurt in BracketBusters, especially at home, but we still think that wins over Creighton, Bradley, Wichita State, Bradley again, Illinois State, and St. Mary’s will be good enough to put UNI in the NIT."

That guy uses the term "when push comes to shove" A LOT.

Indiana St seeded above us as a 3? I know they beat us twice but that surprised me.

Re: NIT Bracketology

After Iowa refusing to continue the home-home series, how awesome would it be to host them in an NIT game?

Obviously I'm hoping we win all three in St. Louis, but forcing Fran to come back to the McLeod Center would be pretty fun.

It shouldn't, you just said it...they beat us twice.

Re: NIT Bracketology

There's no way iowa isn't a host team in the NIT. Outside of rpi, their computer profile is better than most teams on the bubble right now.
