AUdmd07 2 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yeah, #1 seed in NIT says we were definitely one of the first 4 out of the NCAA tourney. Great improvement over last year. Potential for 3 home games. War Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the NIT is its own seperate entity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG-91 1,483 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 First game is Wednesday at 7 PM CST...no TV that I can find (none of the ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU, anyway), so if you're in the neighborhood, go support the guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarTiger 3,916 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 play UT-Martin first round... congrats tigers... Are they playing in Auburn? they should be...as far as I know. They would also host a 2nd round game too, if they win, if i'm not mistaken. Edit: from the auburn website: Auburn Will Take On UT-Martin In NIT First Round UT-Martin was the Ohio Valley Conference regular season champion. March 15, 2009 The Auburn men's basketball team (22-11, 10-6 SEC) will play Ohio Valley Conference regular season champion UT-Martin (22-9, 14-4) in the NIT First Round Wednesday at 7 pm Central in Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum. Tickets will go on sale Monday morning on-line at www.auburntigers.com and at the Auburn Athletic Department Ticket Office. Reserved tickets are $15 in sections 29-33 lower level, $10 general admission for the rest of the building and $5 for college students and those 18-and-under. More to come...

WaReAgLe83 0 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 The first three rounds are hosted by the higher seed, so we could have up to three more home games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECEstudentUA 9 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 play UT-Martin first round... congrats tigers... You guys will do well in the NIT. I felt that you guys would have made the NCAA tourney if MSU lost to UT today. But, overall...i think Lebo has done a great job from start to finish. He basically walked into an Auburn program with hardly anything to work with. He has for sure gained my respect. I didnt watch the selection show or see anything on the NIT, did any other SEC team make the NIT. I know LSU, MSU and UT made the big tourney.

WaReAgLe83 0 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 It's amazing...a year ago I'd never heard of UT-Martin, now we're playing them in two different sports in the span of a few months! Who saw that coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubrandon 5 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'm convinced that the #1 seeds for the NIT are the schools that got screwed by the Big Dance selection committee. Although Florida kinda blows that theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida and Auburn are 1 seeds, Carolina 3 seed and UK 4 seed UF will get beat in their opening game by Jacksonville. I have seen j'ville play as a member of the Atlantic sun conference with Lipscomb, where i work. J'ville matches up very well with them and has the size and athelticism to compete and beat them. Plus J'ville playing in G'ville, they will be pumped up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin149 391 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 We need to go into the NIT with the plans and mind-set to win!!! An early loss and we'll all hear "that's why they didn't make the NCAAs". Go get'em guys!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdub5793 0 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Yeah, #1 seed in NIT says we were definitely one of the first 4 out of the NCAA tourney. Great improvement over last year. Potential for 3 home games. War Eagle. That may be true but you cant judge that from the NIT seeds since the committee's who pick these teams are not affiliated with one another. I believe the NIT is its own seperate entity. Until somewhat recently, yes. Not anymore. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2136724 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB33 1 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 If Auburn can get past UT-Martin, do we know when the second game would be? The bracket I saw just said the second round would be played "March 19-23." Not assuming a victory, by any means, but, since I can't make it tomorrow, I want to plan so I can make sure I can make it to round #2 (if there is one).

I didnt see that a few years ago but I least I had half of my statement right with the committee's who pick both tournaments being different, lol.
