    The New True NIT Bracketology Thread

    Carry on. Discuss.
    "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

    So, are we going to host a game or not?

    Also, is there an NIT selection show?

      No we're winning 3 in St. Louis and going NCAAs!!!!

        That's completely fine with me. If that's the case what seed would we be #13?

          Actually, I think we'd be a bit higher in the 11-12 range. We would all of a sudden have an RPI in the 50s with 5 top 50 wins. I sure as hell wouldn't want to see us if I were a higher seed...

            I would guess 12 seed, probably in a play-in game against another mid-major just so they can eliminate one of the few mid-majors that actually get in and have a chance to do some damage.

            That is probably the only thing I hate about the NCAA Tournament, why do they have to match the mid-majors against each other in the opening round. Taking down the big boys it what the tournament is about...

              I believe there is. I think it's usually a few hours after the NCAA's show???

                  We couldn't be in a play-in game as an automatic bid team unless we were a 16 seed. The 12/13/14 seed play in games are at large selections. We would probably be a 13 (if they aren't all play in teams) or a 14. Don't see a 12 seed being a auto bid team if they weren't already going to be in the dance.

                  Oh yeah.....

                    Gotcha. Didn't realize the play-in games couldn't go to auto bids.

                      2 of the 4 (or 4 of 8) go to auto-bid 16 seeds.

                        So does anyone have any idea where we stand for an NIT bid now? We've got the RPI, the third place finish, and quality wins to deserve a bid but is only 17 D-1 wins enough to get a bid? The MVC tourny announcers seem to think we'll be there.

                          Don't listen to those mvc cheerleaders. We are in trouble. 2 nit auto bids were given out today by conference champs losing.

                            Still looking forward to the upcoming games, no matter what tournament it's in. Not the Big Dance, but it's still a chance to play in the postseason. It'll only be as good as the players and fans make it. Definitely not ready to see the season come to a close, so any chance to see our team play again is gladly welcomed.

                              The big south conference takes another nit auto bid with 20 loss liberty winning.
