Screwed by the NIT - wits TWO consecutive years. I'd like to tell 'em no thanks.... we're declining and moving on....

I'm still confused on the foul issue.

And.....why the hell would you want to change it?  I understand the logic behind wanting to test the other changes.  This one just seems over thought.

It's basically a test of playing quarters without actually playing quarters.  If they changed to quarters (like EVERY other basketball league in the universe), they would be 10 minutes & every foul after 5 would be two shots.  Since they haven't figured out media timeouts with 10 minute quarters, they are doing it this way.

Yep. Quarters but also changing to the NBA-style rule of having the fouls reset every quarter instead of every half and eliminating the 1-and-1.

 
Managing the changes in the NIT Rules for this year will be interesting to watch (from the coaching standpoint). Who can adjust and use the rules changes to their advantage?
They better be doing so already in PRACTICE.

 
Nice, the 3 teams in the field that we played & beat are seated above us.


The word is "seeded". 

Nebraska's RPI is 93.

Creighton's is 60 and Seton Hall's 62. If you are complaining about Indiana, whose RPI is currently 99, consider that Indiana went 4-1 in their last 5 games, including wins against Wisconsin and Michigan State. I think any objective person would rank them ahead of Nebraska, at this point (RPI telling only part of the story).
