lol... Is the NIT still a thing? Sigh... I can remember when it was a big thing.

As for the NCAA... all about the $$$. First it was one, play-in game... now four... and there was talk of more.

Akron U beat Houston in the NIT last night....in Texas. Now they have to stay in Texas to play UT-Arlington.

[The Gipper]

Butler beats Winthrop

Gonzaga beats South Dakota St.

Both games won handily.

Good for them, check out some of the former NCAA perenienal teams in the NIT this year.

[The Gipper]

West by God Virginia beats Bucknell.

No upsets thus far. Though Minnesota is behind Middle Tenn St. at halftime. Minn. is a 5 seed, MTSU a 12.

[mjp28]

Woo-hoo the first 8 very early games:

1 mjp #1 baby 8 192

1 Zombomania 8 192

1 Greg 916 8 192

....but the big points are later!

[cambridgeho]

I desperately need the ZAGS to come through to the Final 4 or 2 because I'm the only one that picked them, I think their path is doable.

And I thought I was done when Duke lost, not so...yet.
