What is Hampton doing in the NIT?

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

How about putting real teams in the NIT .

simple..they won their regular season conference championship and as such any school not winning the conference tourney that won the regular season title is giving an automatic bid to the NIT...its a great rule.

Also they need weak teams to play at ND to ensure ND makes it to the Garden.

I would hope PSU/Temple takes them down

by the way BC lost to Western Kentucky

USC/UNCA into 2OT. Entertaining. USC JR siting out game on bench since he going to enter draft. He's no longer a member of his team he quit on them. Why is he on bench?

It's not football though.
ND fans in our area don't really care that much about their hoops squad

Because even 18 year olds aren't as myopic as a bunch of message board posters who are paragons of loyalty and honor, and definitely wouldn't take any precautions to secure a potential multimillion dollar pay day in the NBA draft. If his teammates don't have an issue with it, nobody else should.

If you are asking that question, you don't know enough to even BE on a message board.

And stop knocking the NIT. Ever since the NCAA bought it out and made it a "real" tournament, it's been pretty good. And giving regular-season champions an automatic bid is no sillier than giving a team that might suck all season but get hot for three days an auto bid to the NCAAs.

And when WE were in it, we went crazy over it. And now some of our fans are going to ridicule other schools?

Our favorite football programs square off tomorrow in the NIT.

ND vs Pen St
