NIT Selection Show: 9 PM, ESPNU

[RockLobster]

Because yes, we do need another "Laugh at UNC" thread.

Let the intrigue commence!

[GoingFor#5]

I'm on the edge of my seat.

[BigZ]

I just hope State gest a better seed than UNC.

[juise]

I just hope State gest a better seed than UNC.

Better yet... I'm hoping for State in and Carolina out.

[wolfpackdevil]

Don't get your hopes up. The most likely scenario is that UNC will get in and NC State will be out.

[WiJoe]

Better yet... I'm hoping for State in and Carolina out.

I think there's a good chance of that coming to fruition. Halfway through ... no HOLES.

[dukeENG2003]

a FOUR SEED? What the hell. Its clearly about who can bring in the most money for the tournament, not who has actually earned it.

[BigZ]

UNC is a 4 seed. Haha the analyst said UNC didn't deserve to get in the NIT.

[juise]

Blah. I could tell UNC was in when they teased it going in to the last commercial break. When it comes down to it, they're going to try and pull some press/viewers to the event. This gives me new hope that they will lose to W&M and have a losing record this season. As a secondary goal, I'd like to see State knock them out.

[Eternal Outlaw]

Come on William & Mary, send them to a losing season

[WiJoe]

this is like the old days for the NIT. Make it up as you go along. C'mon Bill & Mary, oust the holes and make 'em 16-17.

Farg. I suppose the a-holes will play in Carmichael, too. No justice.

wow. CM Newton interview. Snorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-eeeeeeeeeeeee.

[YourLandlord]

Even if they beat W+M they'll lose to Miss St., which means they'll still finish at .500

[jyu181]

Hopefully they'll lose to William and Mary.

If not, then they can lose to NC State (if State makes it past) in the second round.

[Rogue]

It's Bill and Mary. If the TRIBE has a big lead,, Bill may not play in the second half

[DeepBlue70]

W&M coach Tony Shaver is a Carolina alum. What a bind!

[SCMatt33]

I'm going to love seeing all of those empty seats on tv (though the color will hurt my eyes). Go W&M.

[Olympic Fan]

Anybody think that Miami got stiffed?

20 wins and counting the two in the ACC Tournament, they wound up with more ACC wins than Carolina. I know the Heels beat them head-to-head late, but the one matchup between them was in Chapel Hill ... no question that Miami was playing better in Greensboro -- a lot better than the Heels.

I'm not shocked that UNC got a bid, but I'm flabbergasted that they were seeded high enough for a home game. As someone said, maybe it is the same ol' NIT, despite their claims that it's not on the up and up.

W&Mary will be tough, but UNC has a chance in Carmichael. They better enjoy it, because I'm pretty sure they will see it all end in Game 2 at Mississippi State.

Tough road for the Pack, which probably will have to win three road games to reach New York.

[CDu]

Definitely a decision based on money and not based on performance. This clearly flies in the face of all the talk about teams getting in based on resume. It's all about the dollar.

[PumpkinFunk]

Go Tribe! I was cheering for them to be a surprise NCAA team, so I hope they can win this one against the Holes.

[GODUKEGO]

UNC, VA Tech and State made it to the little dance.
