Assuming it's Oklahoma St. and Saint Mary's hosting, that's why I put 6pm for Ok. State and 8pm for Saint Mary's

as long as someone in Louisville's athletic dept didn't provide our team with free hookers and blow last night, I'd say yea, we have a shot.

overall in my opinion though, as of now, we've exceeded pre-season expectations. especially the expectations we had early on when we were playing real bad.

I wasn't convinced we would be a host in the NIT pre season. Get in yeah, but be a host? Probably not. Now we've beaten a really good Nebraska team and a really good Baylor team on the road. A Baylor team we dominated for 25 minutes.
So I would agree. Two very quality wins to get to this point would have me saying we've done better than expected.

As to the point, I had no expectations for this season except to see the team mature and get better. They have certainly done that!
These three or more post season games, especially at Baylor and at Louisville are gonna be huge come next year.

This is where the dilemma always come in for me. So many ask the question would you rather go one and done in the NCAA Tournament or win the NIT? For me I think it depends on the team, and I think this team will benefit by playing more games together. If we win the NIT, that's 4 more games we get to play against pretty darn good competition than we would get in the NCAA Tournament.
Nebraska, @Baylor, @Louisville, then a Marquette and possibly Saint Mary's, both in Madison Square Garden is a nice lineup of teams. In the NCAA Tournament, maybe we are a 12 seed that gets bounced in the play in? Who knows. But I like that we are going to be playing at least 3 post season games, and it would be hard for me to say I would rather go one and done in the NCAA Tournament than make it to the finals or even the Final Four of the NIT.

I know it's not the big dance, but I'm loving this show. My prediction for tonight is that neither team will beat itself. The winner has to do the winning.

Ok

I haven’t made a prediction all year and I’m not gonna start now, but I’m confident that we will play the whole 40 minutes. I’ve learned not to melt regardless of what’s going on until the last 3 minutes.

This team is definitely a "next year" team. making it to the Garden is better for this particular team than a one and done in the NCAA. so yea Met, it depends on the team and this one needs to play some more in the NIT. it will help us kick things off in a much better, experienced fashion next year.
