This must be what an EPL fan feels like when their team is teetering on the brink of relegation

3/11/2010 1:32:45 PM

I think we needed a win tonight to get in anyway, but some of the top seeded teams are probably going to get into the NCAAs so that will open up some spots.

3/11/2010 1:41:18 PM

^Wouldn't that just knock those displaced teams down to the NIT?

3/11/2010 1:50:35 PM

At least we should have a good chance at making the CBI

3/11/2010 2:17:07 PM

or even the CIT

3/11/2010 2:17:48 PM

well South Carolina lost...but they lost to Alabama

3/11/2010 3:45:27 PM

Miami's stock just went up.

3/11/2010 5:06:48 PM

Seriously, quinnipiac?

3/11/2010 5:24:38 PM

this isn't official, is it? why do people act like what joe linardi says is official though?

3/11/2010 5:25:56 PM

They don't.

They act like he's very accurate and reliable. Because he is.

3/11/2010 5:37:46 PM

Everything on the Internet is official.

lets think for a minute here. how can it be official? all the tournaments have not finished playing out.

3/11/2010 6:43:27 PM

it would be official if the selection committee put out real time updates of who would be in if it ended right now.

I'm just trying to point out that theoretically, a 2 seed in this could not even make it and people are bitching about where we are, who is barely in and how miami will jump up like its a real time list.

3/11/2010 8:48:12 PM

NIT-ology isn't Joe Lunardi.

And Quinnipiac got in because they won their regular season and los tin the tournament. The NIT automatically takes teams that won their regular season and don't get an invite to the NCAA.

3/11/2010 9:06:10 PM

I gotta think at 16-16, 5-12 in the conference, UNC is now officially out of the NIT

3/11/2010 9:08:58 PM

3/11/2010 9:10:21 PM

Kent State lost tonight so one more slot gone

3/11/2010 9:33:13 PM

so, what does this do for us now?

3/11/2010 11:40:35 PM

3/11/2010 11:40:59 PM

Yeah, any chance we stole UNC's slot today?

3/11/2010 11:41:39 PM

lets just take care of business tomorrow and we're fine.

3/11/2010 11:43:53 PM

I hope we get to play ASU at ASU and State beats the Fighting Herbivores by 15 or so. As Lowe is giving Sendek the postgame handshake, he needs to be mic'd up so we can all hear, and say "they don't like you in Raleigh." Then he needs to bust out laughing hysterically.

We could finish off this magical night if the team and coaches all met at center court immediately after the handshakes and broke it down g-funk style while the speakers piped in "JAMMIN ON THE HOT."

3/12/2010 12:49:07 AM

Herb is such a dork, he'd probably respond by saying "if it weren't for your championship ring, they wouldn't like you either!"

3/12/2010 1:08:41 AM

then Sid would say "kiss the ring...nerd"

lol, top 3 teams out are Charlotte, NC State, and UNC, in that order

(gunzz' table doesn't auto-update)

3/12/2010 2:21:47 AM

no way quinnipiac should get in over us

3/12/2010 2:33:20 AM

They won the NEC regular season title, so Quinnipiac has to be selected.

3/12/2010 6:36:30 AM

^^ People do not understand the new NIT rules. SFN had a very good entry about it a few days ago. Go over there and read it.

3/12/2010 7:43:35 AM

3/12/2010 11:44:37 AM

imo it would be bs that the NIT wouldn't have any ACC teams

3/12/2010 11:58:37 AM

sooo we can only hope to grab one of three spots left? one of those spots already has tiebreaker over us in reg season...

3/12/2010 3:54:53 PM

We lost to Northwestern, that is Northeastern...

3/12/2010 3:59:30 PM

well thats just up until today. still depends on a lot.

we really need to win tonight.

The way the new NIT rules are designed, there is a very narrow corridor for an ACC team to miss the NCAA cutoff yet still make the NIT. This is also why the NIT is bleeding money since the NCAA took it over, and one of the reasons the NCAA would just assume expand the NCAA Tournament field.

That said, pull for GT and NC State tonight (even if GT would just bump another team down to the NIT).

^^^ My bad, didn't even see Arizona up there.

3/12/2010 4:07:34 PM

3/12/2010 11:53:01 PM

IS IT IN YET

3/12/2010 11:54:08 PM

oh we back

3/12/2010 11:54:23 PM

I would think that we're in.... but, just in case... let's get out revenge on GT

3/12/2010 11:56:23 PM

lets just win the whole damn thing and not worry bout this kay?

3/13/2010 12:00:03 AM

that works for me too
