zippy5 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 I have a feeling we'll be in the CBI.If we don't make it to the real dance, I might just rather have a home game in the new tourney than a low seed in the NIT. Either way wouldn't matter I suppose, the NIT is higher profile, on ESPN. It's like going to the fat kid's party because the cool kid didn't invite you. I don't really care, but I will sure as hell be there if we get a home game. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 The NIT won't take a MAC team if they don't have to, and it doesn't matter how good they are.The CBI is our only choice, and I doubt that UA will foot the $60,000 bill for a home game.We'll see what the deal is later tonight. Quote
Marty McFly Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 Just throwing this out there - What about an Akron at Ohio State NIT matchup? Quote
zippy5 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 Just throwing this out there - What about an Akron at Ohio State NIT matchup?I would love that. We could show the Suckeye fans some real basketball.There is no doubt in my mind we would beat them, they are overrated, if there was ever a chance for some exposure in the state, this is it. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 Just throwing this out there - What about an Akron at Ohio State NIT matchup?I would love to have a shot at them, and if we won that's instant respect from a whole boatload of people around here. I doubt theyt would have much of a homecourt advantage since most OSU fans only root for them if they are on top. I would make the trip. Quote
ziptrumpet87 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 Any clue when the NIT and CBI will announce? Quote

I'm sure some teams are waiting to see whether they will get an NIT invite before accepting a trip to the CBI. Quote
ejcool27 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 I find it funny that we didn't get NIT bid last year, but somehow were predicted to get one this year. Quote
sgm405 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 We are going to be in the NIT, I'm telling ya! Quote
ZachTheZip Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 We are going to be in the NIT Are you sure?Could it be against OSU? As a home game? Pretty Please? Quote
sgm405 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 We are going to be in the NIT Are you sure?Could it be against OSU? As a home game? Pretty Please? About 99% sure...got some media contacts in the know. Quote
lovezips Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 No chance we are playing the buckeyes. Quote
sgm405 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 No chance we are playing the buckeyes.I'm predicting NITology's guess of the Arizona State region will be where we end up. Quote
lovezips Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 I dont think we are going to make it. Quote
sgm405 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 I dont think we are going to make it. We're in...trust me! Quote
ZachTheZip Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 No chance we are playing the buckeyes.Championship game, baby! Anybody notice that they didn't have a "Who's in and who's on the bubble' thing like last year? Think that was because of us? I wonder if ESPN decided to not do it after getting embarassed by wrongly predicting that we were in (not as bad as we were, though), or do you think the NCAA asked them not to do it because it might draw attention to a blatent snub when one of the "In for sure" teams goes missing...

Marty McFly Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Are the 2nd round games played at higher seed's campus site?If that is the case, and we win, along with Stephen F Austin upsetting #2 UMass, there would be 1 more home game at the JAR? Quote
