| Post subject: | The NIT Bracket after Day 1 |
Of the first 16 games in the NIT, the higher seed (and home team) won only 7 of the games. And 3 of those 7 were a 4-seed that beat a 5 seed. - Every 6 seed beat every 3 seed. - Three of the four 2 seeds were out in the first round. - Cal-Bakersfield upset #1 seed Cal in Berkeley. https://res.cloudinary.com/cmgverticals ... fbnfvz.jpg One seed ISU handily beat UC Irvine, but the only 2 seed to hold on was Illinois, in ISU's section of the bracket. If ISU beats Central Florida and Illinois holds serve against Boise State, it will be U of I at Redbird Arena for a chance to go to NYC for the NIT Final Four. That will be quite a game for ISU, if they can get there. |

I care. I would love to see a Valley team knock a Big 10-14 team out of the tourney. |

Well, sure, for a couple of reasons. First, it'd be good for the MVC to have ISUr have a deep run in the NIT. To that end, it also could hurt future scheduling if U of I goes to ISUr and gets smoked. Conversely, maybe it shows that some mid-majors are a good schedule. Much to watch other than Hawkins doing his best Johnny Manziel impersonation |

I want them to win, but I am not rooting for them. If that makes sense. I'll root for the Shockers. |
