  1. UNX has the worst record in the NIT field. Why was Miami shunned for them?
    I know the holes beat Miami. the Canes had a better record and won 2 ACC Tourney games(2 more than won by the holes). So what, NC State beat Duke, Wake, Marquette and Florida State twice and but do not belong in the NCAA.They are in the NIT where they belong this year.

  2. Have to agree that NCSU belongs in the NIT but so does Miami. unc got in because they are unc, no other reason. They’ll draw a big crowd, maybe host a game, sell some tickets and be outta there. All about the money.

  3. The NIT is an invitation only tourney. Other than the minimum requirement of no losing record they are going to invite teams that bring interest and fans. As bad as their season has been, Carolina will sell out Carmichael for an NIT game. Miami would probably have 4000 fans show up. If by some miracle Carolina keeps winning the NIT will garner more attention than it has in years. That’s why they were invited.

  4. UNC wants 40 dollars for the NIT game Ticket! They are out of their minds. They are having it in Carmichael to drum up interest.

  5. I hope William kicks UNX’s tails. If William needs help, Mary can finish off the holes.

  6. On a bright note…..WAKE MADE THE BIG DANCE!

    You wouldn’t know it by reading the news on here. Go figure.

  7. I can’t believe Wake got in after the way they played down the stretch.

    I’m still in a state of shock and all Deacon fans I have spoke to are feeling the same way. I could only spot two in the County and they said they were numb.

  8. The game isn’t in Carmichael to stir up interest. It’s in Carmichael because they have already started renovations on the Smith Center.

  9. Just because “you can’t believe it” doesn’t mean you shouldn’t report it. It isn’t about the way you finish, it about the full body of work throughout the season. That’s why they play a full season and not just the last 6 games.

    Wake’s quality non-conference wins from early in the season got them the bid. That, and knocking off Maryland.
