Seemingly never ending Iowa MBB thread (still going.....)

[SCyclone]

MSG didnt even open until February of 1968. You should feel like an idiot.

The post-season National Invitation Tournament was founded in 1938 by the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association, one year after the NAIA Tournament was created by basketball's inventor Dr. James Naismith, and one before the NCAA Tournament. The first NIT was won by the Temple University Owls over the Colorado Buffaloes.

Responsibility for the NIT's administration was transferred in 1940 to the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball Committee, a body of local New York colleges: Fordham University, Manhattan College, New York University, St. John's University, and Wagner College. This became the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball Association (MIBA) in 1948.

Originally the tournament invited a field of 6 teams, with all games played at Madison Square Garden in downtown Manhattan.

Not at all....as I have said from the beginning, I just dont think its a big deal.

You don't think it's a big deal a future recruit and your head coaches son said the only reason his teammate won an award was because he paid for it instead of deserving it? Lol you can't be serious

So what building are the semi's and finals of this years NIT being played in?

Pretty sure its the one that opened in '68.

Nothing. In fact the Iowa fan calling others stupid for being right was wrong.

 

[srjclone]

Nothing.

I have revised above post.

I just need to stop here, as I feel like I am trying to give all the credit to ISU players and coaches and that is pissing people off, they seem to want to credit the conference. If people think I don't understand that a tougher conference SOS helps, I do understand that. I am only saying that each SOS is looked at individually, that you are not "rewarded" some kind of Big12 bump or extra credit. They simply look at individual SOS and some are better than others, even within the Big12.

Nobody is pissed off, I'm just confused on what you are trying to prove exactly. You understand that SOS is factored into the RPI rating and the better a conference does in the non-conf will lead to a higher RPI for the conference?

Iowa State would not have been a 5 seed if you put them in the Big 10 this year with the exact same record.

I have since revised my post.

Hey, never mind. You're excited to be in a tournament, I get it. Enjoy yourself.

Not to go off topic but is Prohm seriously going to talk to LSU about their coaching vacancy?

Seems like a step down to me.

No, Fran mentioned he would. Hes pulling the old Ferentz trick. Say a little fib to Barta about another team and Barta will bump your pay about a mill a year and add 5 years to it

Alright *****, so you're saying that an ISU team that finished 23-10 in the MAC would have still gotten a 5 seed in the tourney? Just curious.
