They deserved to get in with their resume, and I picked them to beat Temple, and even if they lose in the first round that makes the program look better then making a deep run in the NIT does.

who wouldn't want to be part of the greatest sporting event in America? So they can play a few more games in a meaningless tournament with 4 seniors as starters, and doing absolutely nothing for their future.
The Banner that will say NCAA Tournament 2011, means much much much more the the banner that say NIT Champions 2009.

Isn't there a catholic board for high school basketball that you could go to to talk about high school basketball with other catholic fans. Maybe you could take Jack Daniel with you. :wink:

Isn't there something going on in Saxton you can do?

Probably not.

Nitwits vs Temple.....how cute, you meet your rival in hoops too! Per chance they'll agree to play 18 hoop games @ UPS & one in Philly :P

If anyone has ever seen the where the arena is at Temple, I wouldn't want my team to go there and play once.

Instead of playing the game at a geographically neutral site (such as the Sovereign Center in Reading or at Hershey Park's Giant Center LOL), they'll be playing this dandy in Tuscon by-God ARIZONA...That's right two teams, about 150mi apart, and the game between them will be played 3 time zones away. Brilliant, simply brilliant.

You must have little knowledge on how difficult it can be to seed 68 teams spread out across the country when using predetermined sites. Add in the fact the committee has to avoid matching up 2 conference teams before the sweet 16.

That thing with no 2 conference teams playing before the sweet 16 had to really be a pain this year with 11 in from the Big East, heck their could be 3 Big East vs Big East Sweet 16 games!
