A10 in the NIT

[MrTbone]

Both uri and GW off to good starts in the nit...

Although I should support the A10, I'm actually watching W&M vs. TULSA.

NC Cent hanging in there with Miami down 8 at 4:16

 

[8legs]

GW beats Pitt at Pitt. Place was EMPTY.

 

[urfan1]

GW beats Pitt on the road --- good for A-10

 

[urfan1]

Miami hangs on for a 4 point win

 

[MrTbone]

Rhody cruised, won by 13.

The announcer were just all over Pitt's lack of effort all game. Frankly, both teams look pretty poor. URI is road housing Iona. 2-0 night for the A-10.

 

[urfan1]

W&M looking like they want to go home --- Illinois must think the game starts later, Bama up 23-8

 

[urfan1]

right now bama looking like a sweet 16 team -- Anthony could not get them going, but playing with emotion now

 

[SpiderK]

Looks like Illinois doesn't care about being there either.

 

[urfan1]

Tulsa survives over W&M by 3 Tribe had 2 shots on basket to tie at the end and missed both

 

[32counter]

Tired arms from the Tribe last 30 secs.

 

[urmite]

Was the Bama team that happy to see him go?

 

[urfan1]

sure looked that way to me. they looked liked a sweet 16 team to me. It will be very interesting to see how they play Miami

 

[CarolinaSpider]

Let's keep the A10 rolling tonight.

 

[FrontRoyalSpider]

For what its worth most VCUers are pulling for all the A10 teams in the NIT, except UR! Several Lambs claim they are coming to our game tonight wearing VCU gear and will scream loudly in support of St. Francis and will boo UR ! I hope any person who shows up at the RC in VCU attire will not be allowed to buy a ticket and thus refused entry into the best college basketball facility in Richmond!

who cares

 

[SpiderK]

Interesting if Grant ends up at Mason.

 

[spiderpreacher]

Let"s keep it perfect for the A-10 tonight with a win and moving onto to the second round with another home game. Go Spiders!

 

[SpiderK]

Spiderpreacher-- You are preaching to the choir!! .

Go Spiders!!!

 

[spiderman]

it's all mental in the NIT. some good teams can't get up for it. other players are so competitive they would play just as hard in a playground game as a NCAA game. you'd have to know the kids' personalities to pick these games.

 

[MidloTrader]

About Alabama, announcers were saying that the players were saying they were playing for Coach Grant, staff and for themselves, particularly their seniors. Which makes sense when that coach is the one who brought you in. Good to see them come out with a purpose. We need to come out and make a strong statement to the rest of the field tonight as well.

 

[SpiderK]

Dayton wins 57-55 over Boise State. Good for them.

 

[SFspidur]

Psst...Dayton's not in the NIT.

 

[MrTbone]

Watching Avila in the cst game...kid can ball. Athletic for a bug guy.

Did he not academically qualify for us?

Sidebar, some terrible calls in this game. And no calls...

 

[SFspidur]

Supposedly some of his credits from Navy wouldn't transfer. But it seems like there's probably more to the story than that.

 

[SpiderK]

SF, lol. True, but I didn't want to start a whole thread for that.
