They probably thought you were smart enough to know 4 plays 5, 3 plays 6, 2 plays 7 and 1 plays 8.

Yeah, but if one of them makes it to the semifinals, I have to look all the way back to figure out what seed they should have been! lol.  It's just odd to me they didn't want to waste the ink (bits) - unless they're really not seeded that way?  Even on TV they didn't list seeds next to the "underdog".

Dumb question (maybe).  Why does the NIT not list seeds for the 5-8 teams?

I don’t think 5-8 are really seeded.  1-4 get the home game, and they just picked the visiting teams based on who was closest geographically.

OK.  That could be an explanation.  I didn't (and still haven't) looked at geography.

Wright State and Bryant took turns badly bungling clock management the last 40 seconds of the first half. Entertaining, though.

They combined for 60+ in the last 10 min of the first half.  That’s just fun basketball for a 16s game

Rothstein asking a confused Woodson what message he wanted to send to Bobby Knight was the perfect lighter fluid for that dumpster fire of a broadcast.

Nothing/Nobody was worse than the godawful Rex Chapman, who seemingly didn't do a minute of prep and had no clue who the players or teams were.

How do you not put in the prep work only to sound clueless on TV?

I was wondering why Chapman was hired.  Seems bizarre to me.

Go Rutgers.

He is a "major social media star" apparently.

I think the tournament needs a complete overhaul with announcers and analysts, with the exception of Ian Eagle and Jim Spanarkel.

Tonight, Rex Chapman derailed a conversation about Ron Harper Jr by gloating about Ron Harper Sr blowing out his knee.

We all know Chapman doesn't sniff this TV gig if his politics were as extreme, but to the Right side.

So he was hired because of his politics?  I guess I don't much about the guy in recent years.

If Rex Chapman was a qanon incel he would have plenty of opportunities on Newsmax.

He’s awful.  The team lost eight straight games and played a bad non conference schedule.  If you’re speaking from the heart you should never have to stare at a piece of paper and read a prepared statement.  That was scripted and very poorly delivered.  He deserved his outcome - a bid to the NIT.  Since Buzz jettisoned Newbill I’ve had no respect for this “man of faith and commitment.”  Get out of here with your BS!!!!!!!!!!

What do you know.

Another college basketball game where the team with the final shot lets a player(streaky one at that) just dribble out the whole clock to take a extremely low percentage and obviously telegraphed fade away shot.

Works basically 0% of the time.

Not really.  MU fans would be eating this up if we'd been snubbed the way A&M was.  He's 100% right. A&M finished higher than MU in KenPom.  They finished the season on a tear, despite the committee no longer considering record in the last 10.  9-9 in the SEC and that finish, they should be in.  Period.

This ND/Rutgers game got really fun.  ND grinding methodical offense, get a bucket, then Rutgers tears down the court and punches them right back in the mouth. Then both teams go cold the last 2 min

Rutgers needs to stop having crappy shooters shoot fadeaways and do more Lobs to the 1 handed hammer in the middle.
