NIT to field a 16 team tourney in Dallas - Ft. Worth area
They could be hoping for big ratings with Dook, Kentucky and Staee
If I don't wanna watch any of those teams when they're good, I sure as fuck don't wanna watch them when they suck ass
None of them will go anyway. If it wasn't a Covid year, you might get them, this year, no way.
Actually I love watching them when they suck
Games will be held at Comerica Center in Frisco and at UNT Coliseum on North Texas' campus in Denton
Good luck to Syracuse!

I do admire Syracuse for their consistency. This marks the 7th straight year they are in that "last eight in/first eight out" discussion, on the bubble.
If they do get in, of course, they will then pull multiple upsets and then make it to the Elite Eight as a #10 seed. It's their MO at this point.
That really sucks for those regular season mid major champions that lose in their tournament. Most likely won’t get an invite with 16 teams and traditional blue bloods getting that don’t make the tourney taking their spot.
The press release said no auto bid for conference regular season champions who lose their tournament due to the reduced size of the field.
I highly doubt teams like kentucky or duke will accept a bid to the NIT.
That was my thought also. I can't imagine those schools raising a NIT Championship banner. Of course they would have to win it first, which at this point in no gimme.
Uh-oh. Staee might not make the Tournament this year if they only take 16 teams.
More chances for Izzo to lose. I'll watch that.
I want to watch the press conference where Izz tells the world how excited Staee is to play in a tournament with the tradition of the NIT
There's hope for Staee
2021's all washington generals tournament.
I'd pay to watch any of those coaches eat the water bucket
Rutgers may find themselves in this after getting pasted by Nebraska without their leading scorer who left the team. The NIT could have 4 or more Bigten teams in it.
MSU gonna be a great NIT 3 seed after we slaughter them back to back
caution: counting before hatching can be very disappointing.
....so can being on the wrong side of the chicken or the egg conundrum....
