NIT: Who you got?

The NIT isn't the spectacle that the national tournament has become, but it's college hoops none the less.

So, now that the field of 65 is set, who's the best of the rest?

I like the way Baylor ripped through the Big 12 tournament and waited the entire season to live up to the hype. Its 2-3 zone was effective with twin seven-footers Josh Lomers and Mamadou Diene clogging up the paint.

The Bears have a deep and experienced backcourt led by senior Curtis Jerrells and sophomore LaceDarius Dunn. Senior forward Kevin Rogers was stepped up in recent games, giving BU punch in the frontcourt.

Baylor is a No. 3 seed and opens against another underachieving program, the Georgetown Hoyas, Wednesday at home.

So, while we wait for the Madness to kick off Thursday, the NIT will hold us over.

Who you got?

I still can't believe SMC goet screwed.....AGAIN!!!

Wash St as the 1rd game? Yes, its home but?

I think Coll o Char will be a team to watch out for, but again, just like unlv, wash st, SMC and tucky, they have a harsh 1st rd game.
