    We need to win saturday, and we need a win in STL.
    I agree, for the first time maybe ever.

      Just to be clear, you're agreeing with me too. I hope you are "cool" with that.

          Interesting that they give Bradley a #1 seed, and UNI who beat them twice, being out. Hopefully they just beat them Friday to make people think otherwise.

            CyCarp-

            I believe that the list provided was last updated on Monday, the day before the UNI/BU game. My guess is that BU will drop, while UNI will jump in that list.

            I think 18 wins gets UNI into the NIT, but I think we want to win at least one in STL to not feel jittery about making the NIT. On the other hand, let's just go to STL and win it all!

            Last time UNI went with 18 wins, they started 2 seniors, 2 sophs, and a freshman PG.

            This year, it's 2 seniors, 2 juniors, and a freshman...an older group this year, despite maybe having less overall experience. If UNI can hit shots, they can win the tourney...they just have to hit shots!
            The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

              I agree that we need to go win the tournament.

              But if we don't I think that we are in the NIT and are just playing for home games at this point...

                I agree were down in St. Louis so we might as well stay for a while and win the whole thing. Nothing is going to be handed to us, but if we keep playing the type of basketball that we have been the last few games then we should be going to the NIT, but lets just go win the whole thing in St. Louis and put and end to all this discussion.
                Coach Whisenhunt 1/18/09. "There was never any complaints about not being named the starter, all he wanted was an opportunity and he took advantage of it. Kurt is probably one of the greatest individuals you'll ever meet. Kurt worked hard on a lot of things that a lot of times older quarterbacks aren't willing to do. That's a credit to his humility and his competitive drive, and the reason that we are here today in great part is what Kurt Warner has done for us."

                  NIT "Bracketology" Blog

                  Here's another Blog with NIT speculation. Obviously, this is just someone else's thoughts so I wouldn't put too much stock in it. However, it was updated after our Bradley win so it reflects that we are pretty safe. If you figure in their top 8 they have two teams that probably will now make the NCAAs, that moves people up 2 rungs, which, conceivably is in their "safe" list. Again though, this is just someone's speculation and I dont know who they are or if they are a credible source (I'm assuming not).

                    hehe in the case UNI and Iowa make the NIT...since the NIT is very regional based early on...Iowa could be coming to the McLeod for a game! hehehehe. wouldnt that be awesome! Good way to send Haluska out of his basketball career!
