I'm going to stand by my other post in the other thread and affirm the NIT committee are a bunch of ****ing dumb*****. I'm not mincing words this time around. They're pathetic.

Northwestern = home game in NIT
Harvard = road game in NIT

This is the stupidest bracket I've ever seen in my life

I couldn't agree with you more!

This is a disgrace. Everyone needs to absolutely tear this entire bracket apart. This is a disgrace to the game of college basketball

Well, cool for Northwestern, but it's obviously a reflection of the "strength" of the Big Ten based on their haul of 7 NCAA Tournament bids. It stands to reason that the NIT committee saw this and decided they will have a couple of more teams playing home games in the NIT, while Harvard OTOH gets sacked with a road game! Never mind they had nice wins over two other NIT teams!

Here are the next two regions released, with one region remaining. No Cleveland St. yet, which means it looks like Wichita St. and Valparaiso are going to be heading to CBI territory!

???#1 Colorado vs #8 Texas Southern
???#4 California vs #5 Ole Miss
???#3 Colorado State vs #6 Fairfield
???#2 St. Mary's vs #7 Kent State

???#1 Boston College vs #8 McNeese State
???#4 Northwestern vs #5 Milwaukee
???#2 Oklahoma State vs #6 Harvard
???#2 Washington State vs #7 Long Beach State

Hey, I take back what I just said! At least the NIT committee had the decency to include Wichta St!
