Motivation for the NIT

[krk1030]

What teams do you expect to mail it? Who plays hard?

[Bostongambler]

Oklahoma is pissed if that helps any Kirk.

[Otters27]

Nebraska should play hard. St Mary's might cash it in

[Clutchut12]

Nice call bout st mary i agree

[Regul8er]

I would agree with Nebraska if they were at home, but they struggled away all year.
Crazy how Nebraska goes 13-5 in the Big 10, and manages to get a 5 seed in the NIT, lol.

fade Louisville??

Louisville basketball players initially voted against playing in the NIT but were later persuaded to accept an invitation when faced with the alternative of forfeiting in the tournament.Multiple sources who have knowledge of the players' wishes but were not authorized to speak publicly about them told Courier Journal the players prior to the ACC Tournament voted against playing in the NIT and then held a players-only meeting on Sunday night after they were left out of the NCAA tournament.
Since the school had already filed its acceptance paperwork with the NIT, interim Louisville athletic director Vince Tyra said Monday afternoon he had to explain to the players that they couldn't withdraw from the tournament.

I like Vermont and northern Kentucky tonight. One or both win straight up.

[Regul8er]

Vermont is a tough one......just lost a heartbreaker a couple days ago. How motivated are they going to be in this spot? MTSU you would think has something to prove, but has struggled the last 2 weeks. Toughest game on the card tonight, imo.

[SBR Tony]

I'm looking for USC to show how bad they really are. plus they have injuries
too many points IMO

[trytrytry]

Nebraska is one to watch like a run from them

[krk1030]

Louisville news is interesting.

May throw the game so they are done with the season.

I believe USC make a mockery of Asheville.

[krk1030]

I like Baylor until it reaches a neutral site. Real solid home team.

[SEAHAWKHARRY]

I don't know coach not into this tourney said so on local radio. Had 1hr practice today only practiced 10mins ..just announced told players they didn't have to play if they didn't want to..Nba prospects mostly....also asked ATheltic dept to not go.USC said go

I wonder how much the schools get for playing. For some I know they would want the revenue for a home game but I soubt USC will draw much of a crowd.

I have both!!

Lines dropping on USC UncAsville
+15 now

[KRIT]

Think Middle Tennessee mails it in tonight. They've already lost their last two games and doubt they care much about the NIT right now.

[LT Profits]

Bonnies

St. Mary's

Why would Bonnies mail it in in NCAA Tournament?

[BuckyOne]

Why not let the kids play that did not get to play much ths year and will be back next year? Give them their chance?

[2Shirts]

Maybe they'll decide to mail it in another night. They are kicking the piss outta Vermont.

Think Middle Tennessee mails it in tonight. They've already lost their last two games and doubt they care much about the NIT right now.

All the favs seem to be rolling I guess they care this year

It always seems like it’s the opposite of what we think

[ChuckyTheGoat]

WTF is USC resting Metu? Saving him for NBA playoff run?

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Who u like in NCAAs, chief?

[KVB]

Nebraska is one to watch like a run from them

They've had a great season in terms of covering the spread, that plus 4 could spell their doom.

It can be a game of give and take.

Good Luck TripleTry.

[2Shirts]

Oregon is the answer - team don't care

[krk1030]

WTF is USC resting Metu? Saving him for NBA playoff run?

Hes probably already dropped out of school.

Like these guys that skip bowl games.

[bracephilosophyy]

You think saint Mary's is motivated lol
