NIT Bracket - Where are the Huskers??

[ThotDoc]

The Huskers aren't even competing for #65.

With 6 B1G teams in the NCAA Tourney and 3 more in the NIT (NW, Ia, and Minny), the Huskers are left to hang out with Penn State and Illinois.

There was a NU in the NIT wasn't there?








Oh, that was Northwestern? My bad.:stickouttongue:

 

[Wonder Monds Fan]

We didn't even make the CBI, so we aren't competing for #101 either. :cry:

We have been invited to the SOC Tournament. (Sit On the Couch).

I thought the SOC tournament stood for So Out Classed.

 

[BGRed]

NU in NIT is Northwestern.

We have a losing record - can't play in any postseason tourney.

How do you play for #65? That's kind of odd. 68 teams in the NCAA tournament. I'm confused.

 

[Fumbler]

After about so many, does the number even matter?

 

[HuskerCoug]

You don't have to .500 for CBI, but you don't accept to play if you are firing your coach.

Exactly right. NU may have received invite that was not accepted.

BTW: the NCAA was expanded to 68, but the automatic qualifiers means that the NIT winner is probably better than #s 48-68.

Anything that happens before Thursday with those playin games doesn't count from my perspective.

Although, South Fla might differ.
