They have UNI as one of the last 4 teams in. Teams on the outside looking in include Nebraska, UCONN, Cal, Oklahoma, and S Carolina. Teams just ahead of UNI include Washington, Missouri, New Mexico St. I would recommend rooting against these teams to secure an NIT bid.

We need to cheer for Central Connecticut State and Weber State tonight too. If they lose in their conference tournament finals that takes up two more NIT bids. -
Dayton won this afternoon. They are also on the NIT bubble.Comment

For awhile I've had this feeling that if we go, we're going to Michigan or DePaul. I have no factual info other than that once they select teams the NIT does try to regionalize them (even with the new seeding format, their rules state they will try to keep teams close to home early).Comment

I'd make the trip over to DePaul....maybe Michigan. Illinois would be a possibility if they don't make the NCAA tourny. DePaul would be a matchup that I'd like to see...especially since our former recruit 08 PG, Mike Bizoukas decommitted from us to go to DePaul.Originally posted by UNI MadCat View PostComment

I'll take DePaul. I watched them today against Villanova. They don't scare me at all...Comment

A trip to Chicago to play Depaul wouldn't be a bad trip, IMO.Originally posted by Brett Crawford View PostThe 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.

You gotta think a team like UConn is in based on name rec alone. Wichita State not even on the radar?Sincerely,

UCONN looked terrible against Syracuse today and when they got down they started throwing cheap shots... Gee, I guess the high quality character that is Jim Calhoun wasn't enought to influence his team

New Mexico State is hosting the WAC Conference Tournament and with their team/fan base they'll be in the finals, and will probably beat Nevada.Comment

It probably won't matter though I'm fairly certain even with a loss in the Conference Championship Nevada would still be in the Dance, thus not taking away a spot in the NIT.The Original PURPLE Wig Guy........ GO PANTHERS
