Sports: Lunardi does NIT Bracketology!

UPDATE: Here is 2007 NIT Bracketology.

Joe Lunardi gives his run down of the 2006 NIT.

Believe it or not, this blog has consistently gotten a few hits a day from people looking for NIT Bracketology.

Anyway, I'll have to take closer look at Joe's list and see how similar the lists are.

Indeed, he correctly highlights the huge number of potential bubble teams because the NIT has pledged to take regular season champions who loss their post-season tournaments thus losing their NCAA bids. Also, I suspect some of the around .500 type teams from the major conferences might dislodge some mid-major programs with more wins but poor RPI and SOS numbers.

It's March 1 and the madness has begun!
