No Maryland! OK...OK...I know it's the turd calling the poop brown, but I'll take what I can get!

Where is the game? I assume it will be at Verizon.

We got hosed...should have been a #1 seed, but they give it to FSU, St. John's and Minnesota..dont know how that is feasible.

It looks like they put us in the toughest bracket too. If can beat West Virginia then we play the winner of FSU vs FGCU

That is 2 tough back to back games..wow

Any word on time and location?

Glad to see that you have become fired up about an NIT game.

A major team -- and formerly despised rival -- coming to McDonough? About as nice a gift as you can get from the NIT! It's killing me that I have something scheduled for that night. I'd have loved to go! And maybe, unlike years past, the place won't be crawling with, um, unpleasant Mountaineer fans.

I interpret the seeding as ironic respect. They down seeded us in order to create a good TV game.

As upset as I am that we didn't make the Big Dance, I am still excited for this game. I hate WVU and would love to beat them. I really hope Markel tears it up this week.

Hopefully Huggy Bear and his team will get to see that iconic picture of Derrick Jackson's game winning shot vs WVA in the ECAC game that he too is featured in. I hope that image is still prominently displayed at McDonough. If not, time to dust it off.

Great for the students but could be horrible for me. Good friend who I see every day is a WVU grad. Final humiliation of a truly humbling year would be losing to these guys. And lose we could. They are young with a few players who will eat us up. They have a guard, Staten, who is as good, if not better than anything we've seen in the BE. They beat Kansas (without Embid).
