Quite a few schools (I'm assuming even those where athletics owns the facility) rent out their basketball arenas in the offseason. I feel like almost every year prior to this one, one of the preferred NIT seeds had to go on the road because their gym was set aside for something else. Last year Oklahoma State (1 seed) had to play on the road in their opening game.

Usually NIT attendance picks up as the tournament progresses. Like you said, it's a mix of reasons...short turnaround, disappointment among fanbases, etc..

He did graduate from North Texas. He's currently in grad school at KSU.

Two hundred fifty grand isn't peanuts. I'd love to make that over 5 months!

South Florida moves on to the NIT second round. AAC pride!

Not discussed yet...20 wins still in play now as well.

I mean, I expect Seton Hall to win tomorrow, so it probably doesn't matter.

Thanks...corrected. 🙂

It's early and they aren't even own by ten. I wouldn't say they're getting killed.

We wanna use this for the NCAA and NIT too? USF looking good early. Let's get a AAC thing going like the CUSA did last season.

If Seton Hall wins...away. If St. Joes does...not sure.

Gonna have to wrestle the trophy away from us.

NT 84 ---------- LSU 77 Final

Down to five...getting really nervous.

Those missed free throws are gonna kill us.

NT 74 ---------- LSU 60 3:38 to go Play smart fellas and we'll play this weekend.

NT 66 ---------- LSU 54 7:16 to go Had pushed the lead to 18, but Tigers trying make a charge.

NT 62 ---------- LSU 48 10:01 to go Starting to slow the game down some, which is actually much more our style. Beat them playing at a faster pace, if we start grinding them -- you really have to like our chances.

NT 58 ---------- LSU 45 13:13 to go We're trying to bury them now. Great three minute segment.

NT 45 ---------- LSU 40 16:11 to go LSU is making more shots this half. Not gonna lie, I wish we had closed out the 1st better...I fear we gave them some confidence.

Even winning those I'm not sure we get in...just saying we'd need to win at least that many to have a shot. Obviously not counting the chance we could get in by winning the league tournament with fewer wins, which is obviously possible too.

NT 38 ---------- LSU 31 Halftime Last couple of minutes weren't great, but otherwise impressive stuff.

NT 38 ---------- LSU 27 2:20 to go One of the best halves we've had all season.

NT 30 ---------- LSU 22 5:37 to go Fantastic run by the good guys. Really playing well right now!

LSU 20 ---------- NT 20 7:16 to go Shots are falling now! If we can keep this up, it'll be a good night for us.
