[Da Coach]

At 8:00 pm on ESPN2- the NIT selection show

 

[MacabreMob]

BU #4 vs Providence

 

[Da Coach]

Bradley is a #4 seed in the North Regional.

They will play Providence.

 

[randy]

is this a home game?

 

[it's boogie time]

I like that BU is getting another Big East team.

Mississippi State is a one seed?

 

[lightsout]

so is it a home game or not??

 

[it's boogie time]

It's a home game since BU is the better seed

 

[lightsout]

YES PROVIDENCE IS COMING TO PEORIA!!!!!!!! LETS GO BRAVES

 

[Big Mike]

YES............the high seeds are the home teams! :wink:

 

[amckillip]

A FOUR SEED? What the Heck? This is unbelievable!!! I put no faith in these selection committees at all, I say we win the MVC Tourney every year, it's the only way too be sure we can get in. GRRRRR

 

[Bravesfan]

is this a home game?

Yes, but barely. A #4 seed? I'm not so sure why? :?

But we'll definately take a home game!

This shows how far BU was out of the at-large NCAA mix. Behind DePaul? Michigan? Puh-lease. Looks like even a berth in the MVC final wouldn't have gotten it done.

The draw for BU isn't that bad... if it wasn't for having to play likely 2 on the road.

The NIT "Committee" (hard to call them that since it is just a bunch of old power conference coaches) does a terrible job. CM Newton said they don't look at RPI or anything... they just try to figure out who would beat who if they played.

Clemson over Syracuse as a #1 seed? Drexel stuck with a #3? Not sure why Air Force got the love as a #1.

Anyhow - I would think the NIT would do better if they gave the mid-major teams more of a shot to play at home instead of the power conference also-rans who won't care about the game and won't draw.

Miss. St. is not a real strong #1 seed. Hopefully BU plays well vs. Providence and then has a shot to win a game at Miss. St. All in all - it could have been worse.... Syracuse, Drexel, Kansas St., etc. are all not in BU's bracket.

Plus - Providence is a Big East team at home... a good game to have....

The biggest problem I have is Bradley not getting a TV game!!! Does anyone know if there will be any way to watch this? BUTV or some place youcan pay?

All in all an ugly day for the MVC. The NCAA gods did everything they could to make sure the MVC understands that it is a mid major and always will be......

Does anyone remember in years past if WEEK made a special arrangement to air an NIT game if BU's wasn't on ESPN? I'm sure they would get a lot more viewers to that than whatever else is on at that time. Maybe someone should send an e-mail to WEEK programming.

ESPN doesn't want to show a Big East team getting their @sses kicked on national television.
