NIT tournament discussion - 1st round games

[Omaha1]

Reported locally that Nebraska is likely to only suit up six or maybe seven players tomorrow. At least one of them is a freshman walk on. Butler, you better win this damn game.

Would like a source on this one! That would be crazy if we couldn't use our depth to wear them out if nothing else...

#Nebrasketball injury update: Thomas Allen still doubtful with a high ankle sprain. And Brady Heiman hasn't practiced the last two days. Hurt his back getting out of bed earlier this week. That would leave seven total players for Wednesday. #Huskers

Thanks, I saw that they did the B1G tourney like that also, but you were quick and quoted before I updated my question.

Providence is getting smacked at home by an Arkansas team without their best player. How did providence even get a home game. Providence shouldn't even be in the nit. Same goes for butler.

Providence stinks out of conference. They just don't do well against teams they're not intimately familiar with.

Friars are starting to get to know them intimately but will it be enough? Can they hit a couple more 3's? Arkansas is on fire from the 3.

I think the deeper 3 line has gotten in their head, they're 2-20 from 3!

Congratulations to Creighton on their NIT win last night.

The Atlantic 10's only two invitees to the NIT (#4 seed Davidson and # 5 seed Dayton) were knocked out.

Tonight, I will be rooting for Butler, Xavier, and Georgetown.

Best of luck to the Bulldogs, Musketeers, and Hoyas.

Dude, chill, we were 10-3 in non-conference is a down year, winning at Texas, BC, and neutral vs South Carolina.

The seniors on this team have beaten like off the top of my head, Texas, South Carolina, Washington, Miami, Florida State, Notre Dame, Illinois, Memphis, Arizona, Boston College 3 times, URI 3 times, others i'm probably forgetting, yadda yadda. We suck in NCAA's though.

It's a freakin NIT game on a Tuesday night at 9pm in 22 degree weather with like 4k in the crowd.

I like the longer 3 point shot, despite PC throwing up bricks last night. I've been asking for this for years. If anything, i would support going to NBA distance.

The widened key i didnt look to see a difference. I don't remember any 3-second calls.
