Have a feeling that the BE is a little overrated this year. Would not be surprised if only 1-2 make it out of the first weekend.

For advancing, you are almost better off with a weaker top to bottom conference. Look at B1G. Four teams in, a 2, 2 3's and a 5. Big East has 6 but after the 1's, it is a bunch of 8-10 seeds which means advancing past game 1 is a toss up.

I think Michigan wolverines will surprise a lot of people they have a strong case to go final four.
Wagner is the frank kaminsky this year.

Do we do a Hoyatalk bracket contest any more? I remember winning a few years back, when UNC beat Illinois in the final.

Random thought....I know this is NIT but....
Tommy Amaker sucks as a coach. I don't know if he ever was seriously considered for thr Hoyas but his team is horrific at taking care of the ball and for a guy who supposedly bought in 4 Top 25 recruits and can't win the Ivy despite the superior talent...well I am just happy he is not at Gtown.

Anyone watching this soph. kid point guard Trae Jefferson for Texas Southern 8th leading scorer in the nation. Smallest player on the court killing. Will play Xavier tomorrow. The kid is only 5'7". Announcer says he's controlled the tempo of the game

Cuse and ASU each making the selection committee look like fools. These teams are both trash.
