I hope so, but I doubt it.
me too. there are a lot of teams more deserving; don't know if there are 32 of them, but there are a bunch.

I wonder if KSU getting bumped put the final nail in our chances (whatever low % they may have been)....just to say it out loud.

seems like OSU, KSU and Mizzou would be in.

OSU got an NIT big with 17 wins last years

It's hard to compare number of wins year to year.

Our problem is not only the number of wins, but quality wins. We beat Tech and osu at home. Nobody on the road.

according to their site, the field will be announced at 8pm on ESPN2.

do you think they'll have cameras on NIT-bound campuses to show team reaction? :D

I guess you could look at it this way...since the Big XII only got four into the NCAA (I think we usually get at least 5 and sometimes 7) that maybe we get four into the NIT.

I really believe that the big 12 was a lot better than people gave them credit for this year. I'll be rooting for A&M, UT, and KU to all make the final four. It would be amazing if we could get two.

I hope OU makes it in, but I think they just didn't play well enough down the stretch. I'll admit most of the year I was hoping for them to loose (I try to root for OU, but it honestly is real hard), but now I'm really wanting them to get in and do well in the NIT.

Finally, if OSU plays like they did the last three games in the Big 12 tourney, they will run over anybody they face in the NIT. Unfortunately, I don't really see them getting up for it like they did the big 12 tourney.

interesting that they also said teams like Mizzou were left out.

That kind of sucks that they talk about **** on the show like we've all seen the brackets. But alas, such is the case when your team is struggling.

I thought that was strange as well. They are talking about this team and that team making or not making the NIT - SHOW THE TEAMS!!

oh well, time to turn this off.
