NIT discussion

Utah hasn’t been that impressive this year. They would finish middle of the pack in the MWC

Only saw one game. Very bland and just so so. I think Craig Smith is a decent coach but he probably wishes he was still at USU.

I only saw one game, when Utah beat BYU. They looked good in that game.
Either way if it is played at Utah i will be there.

Rick pitino says no to the nit as well..actually finished strong too

A Princeton machine vs UNLV...shades of 1998

We are playing a two seed. That means If no one dropped out, we would have been out of the NIT. Or One of the last ones in

It's interesting. Most NIT bracketologists had us playing the three seed.

I think if UNLV shows up they have a good chance to beat Princeton.
I saw 3 games of Princetons this year. They seem to have a high basketball iq and can hit the three. Our defense will need to play very good but this is a winnable game.

Also fun fact...Mitch Henderson, the coach of Princeton, was on the same Princeton team that beat us in 1998

Have to go back a little further then..

Sloppy seconds with so many dropping out.

I just saw 6 of the teams that declined. May of been more. st John's, Pitt, Oklahoma, Memphis, Ole Miss and Indiana. We had better Net than last 2 , but they have the bigger name

Espn2 nit selection show sez Princeton to the nit final four. So they seem no joke.

They are a very good team. Much better than Air Force, who smoked us once this year.

If the boys show up and play with all their efforts, this is a blow out.Sure UNLV can lose and they have proven that this season.

This is not correct only the first four were seeded in each region. UNLV could have been anywhere from 17-32 in the lineup. Also, since the 12 from NET had to be seeded along with the first four out (3 overlaps) means UNLV was just not in the top 7 of the 19 at large berths.

The MWC is far stronger this year than the Pac12. While the Pac12 has Arizona, it drops off quickly with most of the conference.
