Who are the favorites to WIN the NIT this year?? I have to go with Missouri, Marquette, or Virginia.

I go with Utah State baby. 25-3! It's always the team that gets left out of the NCAA's that ends up winning it. Also I'd watch out for Colorado or Virginia.

I love the way the NIT matches up some of their games.
Oklahoma vs. LSU (Sugar Bowl matchup)
Michigan vs. Missouri (former Duke assistants)
Temple vs. Rutgers (close)
Drexel vs. Nova (philly area)
Purdue @ Notre Dame (ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY!)
There are a lot of other games like this too.

I'll take the winner of the Michigan vs. Mizzou game.

I think Marquette will win the NIT. I agree with Coach that those matchups are pretty cool. Are they intentionally designed that way?

drexel vs. nova will be a war!!!!
im thinkin that nova could really go far if they play like they did in the big east tourny. mizzou has all that talent but just hasnt performed and i dont see them gearing up for the NIT. the big east will do pretty well in the NIT the way i see it.

They try to get matchups that will attract people. You will always see the game played at the place that can guarentee the bigger crowd.
