I dont care...we were in danger of not making the NIT before the tourney. Should be a good field this year though at least.

3/11/2007 5:53:42 PM

lol

3/11/2007 5:53:45 PM

nit-ology has us as a six seed

3/11/2007 5:54:39 PM

fuck arkansas and stanford

3/11/2007 5:55:47 PM

we are basicly arkansas minus 3 wins

3/11/2007 5:57:10 PM

only 32 teams make it to the nit so we'll probably be 33 or 34.

3/11/2007 5:57:51 PM

I was wondering when the NIt Selection Show was going to be thanks for making this post !! Man...our incoming guys for next year are going to fucking rock.....and we only have one person graduating.....NICE!

3/11/2007 5:58:17 PM

^ that is if no one attempts to enter the big time.

3/11/2007 5:59:51 PM

NIT-ology has us as the 3rd-to-last team in. The #7 and #8 seeds (of 8 in each region) are all automatic bids, for teams that won their conference in the regular season, but didn't make the NCAA tournament. We're no lock to get in.

3/11/2007 6:01:21 PM

NIT-ology also has us as a lock, as indicated by the black text.

3/11/2007 6:02:11 PM

i call bullshit on that. our record was bad, but it wasnt nit bubble bad. and that ignores our run in the tourney.

shit, i hope josh powell has thought our players better

3/11/2007 6:06:01 PM

if we're that low, then we won't host a game will we?

3/11/2007 6:21:30 PM

I have no idea when the dates are for NIT, but isn't there also the possibility that a game could conflict with the first and second rounds of the women's NCAA so we wouldn't get a home game?

unless we just cram in reynolds haha

3/11/2007 6:23:26 PM

NIT-ology has all the teams in the tourney as locks; they didn't leave anyone on the bubble.

(projected) 5 seeds
Utah State
U. Mass.
Washington
App. St.

6 seeds
Akron
Iowa
NCSU
Providence

(7 and 8 seeds are automatic bids)

Out
LSU
Mizzou
Cal
San Diego St.
Hofstra
Oklahoma
St. Louis
Nebraska
U. Conn.

3/11/2007 6:26:33 PM

3/11/2007 6:29:08 PM

In one year UConn went from prohibitive NCAA title favorite to not even making the NIT.

3/11/2007 6:30:39 PM

3/11/2007 6:35:53 PM

i know there's no chance of it, but I think it would be hilarious if ASU snuck in and got matched up w/ State


and yes, if that magically happened, I would root for State

3/11/2007 7:02:48 PM

itd be awesome if we could host our game @ Reynolds

3/11/2007 7:30:39 PM

asu will be in the NIT, i guess you're just saying you don't think they'd get matched up against us in the first round?

3/11/2007 7:32:09 PM

holy god we better make it

3/11/2007 7:34:33 PM

haha and NCSU/ASU game would be fun to watch

3/11/2007 7:41:57 PM

I thought ASU was fucking horrible this year... havent really kept track but didnt they lose something like 17-20 games?

3/11/2007 7:48:25 PM

no, they had a great season. including a win over UVA. lost in the SoCon semi's to college of charleston (in charleston).

[Edited on March 11, 2007 at 7:49 PM. Reason : 12]

3/11/2007 7:49:28 PM

i think were talking about two different ASU's

3/11/2007 7:51:29 PM

Might wanna preface that by saying App State. ASU might have people thinking Herb. Did me at least.

3/11/2007 7:51:40 PM

ppl are talking about arizona state and app. state. lolzr

3/11/2007 7:51:46 PM

We're not talking about Alabama Southern?

3/11/2007 7:52:30 PM

yeah, ASU = Arizona State, hahaha, not fucking Appalachian

3/11/2007 7:53:00 PM

I worry about our team being fatigued and banged up for the first round, not to mention having an understandable emotional letdown.

3/11/2007 7:53:19 PM

doh I was thinking ASU=Arizona State.. They wont make it into the NIT, didn't win a conference game till what, the last week or so?

3/11/2007 7:54:08 PM

I know what's caused the confusion here. Note, you guys need to clarify who you are talking about. Instead of using ASU to refer to Arizona State or App. State, use Az. St. or make them the designated ASU, and only refer to Appalachian State as App. State, App., Appy State, etc.


haha in the matter of 4 or so mins everyone was ringing in on the confusion.

[Edited on March 11, 2007 at 7:56 PM. Reason : ]

3/11/2007 7:55:09 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

N I T

better than nothing i suppose

3/11/2007 7:55:17 PM

^^ I think its safe to say that ASU = Arizona State, most of the country has never heard of App. State (might have a little bit from football the last few years, but i doubt it)

[Edited on March 11, 2007 at 7:56 PM. Reason : d]

3/11/2007 7:56:12 PM

if we can get 2 NIT wins that would be 20 wins for us. That would be a pretty big accomplishment IMO with what was said at the beginning of the season.

3/11/2007 7:59:04 PM

great, we get the clown that won his way onto espn

3/11/2007 8:01:30 PM

Draw on now. C'mon home game.

3/11/2007 8:01:59 PM

ZACARIAH SHOULDA WON

3/11/2007 8:02:17 PM

i agree a 20+ win season with a team that had many people leave would be great. Also, only one of Herb's recruits stayed to play for the pack too... Not much, but Horner. Now bring in Lowe's recruits and the fact he did what he did will help him recruit more.

I see a bright future for the pack, especially if we make a solid run in the NIT

3/11/2007 8:02:33 PM

6 seed playing drexel

3/11/2007 8:05:32 PM

We've got Drexel.

3/11/2007 8:05:51 PM

Drexel

3/11/2007 8:06:02 PM

6-seed vs. Drexel.

Does that mean we have an away game up in Philadelphia?

We have the least wins...for an NIT team? Geez, that hurts.

3/11/2007 8:06:07 PM

He said we have 17 wins, when just looking at the monitor is says 18-14.

3/11/2007 8:07:11 PM

THIS will be a good game. Drexel has to be thinking "WHAT DID WE DO WRONG?" Snubbed from the NCAA and then are relegated to a 3 seed in the NIT and have to play a hot ACC team...OUCH
