2023 NIT

What about a BU/SLU NIT first round game in Peoria? That would be fun.
To me Wisconsin doesn't deserve to be in the NIT.

This seems like a possibility. Bradley's NET of 71 is significantly better than St. Louis' NET of 99. However, a 99 NET might not even warrant an NIT bid.
But there are a lot of Power 6 teams with better NET numbers that probably will push Bradley down to being assigned as a road team.
 
Unseeded Bradley plays at #3 seed Wisconsin on Tuesday, at 8:30 pm Central. The game is on ESPN.

Wisconsin is 17-12, and tied for 11th place in the Big Ten with a 9-11 conference record. Their NET is 80.

No chance of home games and a horrible draw. Yes, getting slaughtered in the MVC championship resulted it this, but it is just wrong. Turn it down and focus on next year and make a point we will not be messed over and take crumbs.

If we play a fellow unseeded team in later rounds we might get a home game. That said, the committee probably sends us to Villanova

You never know who will have a schedule conflict. Might get a home game if we win. I still don't understand the unseeded part. Why not call us a 6 seed and Nova a 7 seed? Doesn't that get confusing later on if unseeded teams play each other?
 
Bradley (24-9) RPI 38
Wisconsin (17-14) RPI 89

Bradley NET 71
Wisconsin NET 80

Bradley travels to the lower RPI and NET opponent. Power 5 vs. mid major bias.

Yeah I don't understand this. This is an NCAA-sponsored tournament and they worked so hard to create this NET ranking system...and then they don't use it for the NIT? :confused:

Hard pill to swallow, not getting a home game and apparently not getting the credit deserved by these so-called ranking systems. What’s the point of them if they don’t get applied in even a pseudo-academic way?
HOWEVER- let’s go get this win and perhaps we can swing it back in our favor.
 
I'm shocked we weren't bumped from the tournament to make room for Minnesota or Ohio State.
