NIT

If this is true was already looking at Wagner.

 

Biggest guy is 6-9 250 only three over 6-6.

 

Guard heavy and they score a bunch of points like in the 70's but look like they give up a bunch too.

 

Got killed by Mizzo early in the year.  Other wise played a lot of schools with hyphens and names of guys who were in the revolutionary war.-_-

 

But could be different by 8:00 as this guy has both ASU and somebody else in the NIT that is in the big dance.

Not saying it directly applies to us...but it's not uncommon to see teams with NCAA expectations get left out to not have a vested interest in the NIT

 

We could come out flat and lay an egg.  But I would hope that we get a home game, have a fuller house that is a bit rowdy, and a team that we should be able to beat with even our c game.

 

Then they can kind of figure out if they want to keep playing hard or just mail one in.

This is why the matchup is so important - if we have a 2nd round matchup against a good team , the motivation should be there
