NIT placed the unseeded teams by geography so wouldn't read it at all as Hofstra ranked last in NIT field, but yes tough draw with Rutgers probably the biggest snub from NCAA tourney.cactus wrote:Rutgers is essentially the top overall seed in the tournament.Wags wrote:As predicted, Hofstra at top-seeded Rutgers.

With Pikiell as the coach, I would expect the former rather than the later, although eventually reaching MSG might have been slightly more motivating for them than making a run to Vegas. I think they'll be in this tourney to try to win it though at every step.dutchPride86 wrote: Now will Rutgers be motivated by the snub or will the NIT just be a major letdown for them?
eh, will Hofstra? Think it's a bigger question for them. I have yet to see HU show up to an NIT game ready, hungry, and playing it's best. This will be quite an interesting test for Speedy and staff, especially considering it's 2 best players are likely out the door. Won't be easy. If he can lead them to a W here, even I will readily admit that's a quality showing and a relatively 'big win' for HU after the CAA disappointment.Now will Rutgers be motivated by the snub or will the NIT just be a major letdown for them?
"St. John's (18-15) and Fordham (25-8) did not receive NIT berths."
So at a neutral site about 3? What about at the Mack?Wags wrote:Rutgers - 7.5

I wonder if Nova's acceptance of the bid is to get their two stars a few more looks from NBA scouts. Cam Whitmore is only a freshman who missed the first part of the season due to hand surgery is said to be a first round top ten pick, if he wants to go pro. Justin Moore, would have been a pre-seasontriplec2195 wrote:Nobody seemed to be mentioning the fact that Villanova is in the NIT but what's worth mentioning is they're unseeded and have to go on the road to play Liberty! What! Nobody can rest on their laurels and it seemed not to long ago they were winning a National Championship with Jay Wright. So while N Carolina snubs their nose at this tourney Villanova is all in. I wonder what Jay's thought r on this tourney. https://www.inquirer.com/college-sports ... 30312.html
Meant to say ask this when I saw the bracket on Sunday - Polito: who do you root for if it's HU vs. Va Tech?Jojogunne wrote:At this point, we're playing with house money. There's more pressure on RU to win, and they choked when it counted vs. MN and others.
I'm sure UNCW and Towson would love to be playing tonight.
And if we should win, there's a chance we could face VA TECH in the next round!
