I think a matchup at home with Hofstra or James Madison in the first round is in the works.

can't wait for the "venue released for nit game" threads

Canes game on the 18th, so we open up on the 17th if we are at home.

2/22/2009 3:20:42 PM

2/22/2009 3:21:23 PM

I'll be at Cary Woody's like I have been for all the games in the previous two NITs

2/22/2009 3:27:43 PM

bttt

3/6/2009 5:42:50 PM

we are winning the ACC tourney and making it into the NCAA tourney

mark it 8 dude

3/6/2009 5:46:11 PM

that would be sooo sweet to get all our NIT games in there. If ONLY we could get 1 conference game in there per season just for ACC tradition, even if it was a random game, like BC or something.

3/6/2009 10:08:42 PM

i only went to one NIT game in reynolds, one of sendeks first years, and it sucked b/c we got better seats!!

my dad had end zone seats about 15-20 rows up (like his current seats at the rbc) but for the NIT he was able to get "better" seats that moved us around to one of the corners. those corner reynolds seats blow, it sucks having to look left for 2 hours.

[/boring story]

3/6/2009 10:11:46 PM

I'm pulling for State no matter what happens, but we do have a pretty solid home record, so hosting NIT games will be pretty cool, assuming that happens.

3/6/2009 10:11:48 PM

If we make the NIT, it'll be as a 6 or 7 seed. We ain't hosting shit.

So are we actually gonna make the NIT?

3/15/2009 7:59:46 PM

we better not

3/15/2009 8:01:07 PM

of course we aren't going to make the NIT.. maybe next year we can be an NIT bubble team! I expect great things out of our coach next season!

^get over it

you still never said who we could get to replace him right now

3/15/2009 8:12:17 PM

look, i know this season has been frustrating, but I'd love a NIT bid. I don't think it'll happen. I'd say it's the same odds of cousins changing his mind and going with us

3/15/2009 8:33:49 PM

^^There were plenty of options to replace him with 2 seasons ago...

3/15/2009 8:39:58 PM

^ wait, what?

3/15/2009 9:18:28 PM

3/15/2009 9:20:05 PM

3/15/2009 9:31:03 PM

We should use this opportunity to lobby to be able to defend our Old Spice Championship next year!

3/15/2009 9:31:18 PM

St. Mary's screwed again with a 2 seed

3/15/2009 9:34:54 PM

3/15/2009 9:35:34 PM

AT LEAST THE HORSE CAN'T POOP ON US FROM THERE!!!1

3/15/2009 9:37:30 PM

countdown to next year i guess

3/15/2009 10:19:53 PM

this years team didn't deserve to make the nit. would you guys actually want to watch brandon costner half ass one more game? or fells complete waste his athletic ability?

3/15/2009 10:28:54 PM

I dont have any need to see this team anymore. There are people on the team I love to watch play, but the team as a whole doesnt have any energy. we might win a couple games, then would lose. No reason to continue the misery.

3/16/2009 10:40:11 AM

^assuming we would win two games in the NIT is probably a stretch. This team severely ran out of heart and care (for lack of a better word).

Will be accept an invitation to the CBI if we are offered?

3/16/2009 11:03:27 AM

I think St. Mary's and Davidson could make deep runs in this tourney.

3/16/2009 7:02:43 PM

Who are you guys pulling for in the tournaments?

NIT:
VT, Davidson

CBI:
Buffalo

CIT:
Belmont

3/17/2009 6:23:52 AM

I hope Costner plays in the PIT so he can get dunked on and Ill throw a cheesburger at him.
