6 teams for 3 spots

btw, Minnesota is getting blown out by Ohio State. Could the door be opening slightly for Ilinois to sneak back in? You know the spot will go to a BCS school.

Minnesota is still in.

Will the final spot go to Virginia Tech, Mississippi State, Florida, or even Illinois? That's the only real question.

ahem...repeat after me...always, always, always.....if the selection committee is down to fewer spots than possible candidates, the midmajor schools will ALWAYS get the lowest consideration...
and it it comes down to two BCS conference schools..then the one who was once a midmajor will get the least consideration...
thus Illinois, Miss. State, and Florida are in...
Utah State, UTEP, and Va. tech are out....book it...

We'll see if you are right tornado. If so, this will only go even farther to prove my theory that teams get bids, not conferences.....at least until we get to the final four spots!
 
The committe has been meeting all day, and a lot of their decisions are made well ahead of the final release of the 65-team brackets.
So it could be possible that a representative from the Big Ten might have leaked info to Bruce Weber about the sentiment of all the committee members. Probably they felt Illinois was not one of the last couple left out and therefore would not get in no matter what happened with the final games today.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting the tweet... but to me, it sounds like he's not indicating anything of what ACTUALLY is happening.

"In any other year, both Seth Greenberg and Bruce Weber have already told their teams to pack their bags for the NIT."

That, to me, says: Listen, in other years, teams with a resume like these guys wouldn't be considered "on the bubble" teams. They would know they were going to the NIT. But THIS year, they're a legit bubble team and still don't know for sure.

That's how I read it as well.
