2023 NIT

[️ Fanatic]

So I read that Wisconsins home court is reserved for Wisconsin HS State playoffs next week (for HS practices early part of the week): So it appears Wisconsin can't be a host school (in NIT)

Also, Wisconsin's NET today is 81, compared with Bradley's 73. So if the NCAA used it's own metrics, Bradley should be hosting Wisconsin. Maybe that will happen? It would be great.

Now Coach you know the NCAA never follows it's own rules..lol

The NIT has scheduled first round games as early as the Tuesday following the announcements, but I don't know if that is enough time prior to the state tournament games to allow for a Wisconsin home game. Of course, we don't even know if the NIT selection committee will put Bradley against Wisconsin.

What about a BU/SLU NIT first round game in Peoria? That would be fun.
To me Wisconsin doesn't deserve to be in the NIT.

I bet they match us against Toledo to eliminate one of us from the beginning.

This seems like a possibility. Bradley's NET of 71 is significantly better than St. Louis' NET of 99. However, a 99 NET might not even warrant an NIT bid.
But there are a lot of Power 6 teams with better NET numbers that probably will push Bradley down to being assigned as a road team.

When do they announce the NIT teams?

The NIT Selection Show is at 9 pm Central on ESPNU

North Carolina did not get an NCAA at-large bid (20-13, 11-9, 7th in ACC, NET 46) and would have been an NIT home team in the first round.
But they just announced that they will not participate in the NIT-

Probably afraid they'll get embarrassed by a mid-major opponent.

So apparently they can host. Could Bradley have tickets for sale?

Disappointed to see us not get a top 4 seed. No respect...but hey let's go stick it to them on their home court. Go BU!
