Re: Snap Thoughts on Loyola at Bradley NIT Draw

We got lucky with a regional matchup. Bradley really isn't a 3 seed and we should be playing a true 1 or 2 seed.

from my other post:

San Francisco (NET 66) and Cincinnati (NET 37) are both higher than Loyola Chicago (NET 85), so I presume absent arena conflicts round 2 is on the road. In fact ...

Re: NIT and possible home game, ESPN2 at 8:30

San Francisco (NET 66) and Cincinnati (NET 37) are both higher than Loyola Chicago (NET 85), so I presume absent arena conflicts round 2 is on the road. In fact, the only team in our "quad" with a lower NET is Minnesota (NET 89.)

So its looks like a trip to Cincinnati or S.F. for the Ramblers (can ...

NIT and possible home game, ESPN2 at 8:30

So, every expert has Loyola solidly in the NIT. This begs the question how are home games determined?

Let’s assume this is the bracket…..just for analysis of home/road hypotheticals.

No..no...no.....After reading JCT's post, I think the NIT is a strong possibility now! Selection Show is on TV Sunday night.

Re: St. Bonaventure Preview and Game Thread -- A-10 Quarterf

Last year of the grad transfer right? Is the last season with the covid exemptions (eg. last year with large benches?)

Loyola will not turn down the NIT.

Re: NIT Bracketology

Thanks JCT.

I see this website has us as the last team in @ #1 Indiana State.

That is a winnable game. Then v.s. Butler or Indiana.

Re: NIT Bracketology

JCT,
Our NET didn’t drop but St. Joe’s and Duquesne are getting close to us and one or both could surpass us.
Currently we are #5.

2. VCU. (71)
3. Richmond (74)
4. St. Bonaventure (82)
5. Loyola (84)
6. St. Joe’s (85)
7. Duquesne (89)
8. George Mason (92)
9. UMass (93)

I want our ...

Re: NIT Bracketology

But we may be the #7 A10 team. The cochamps was based on an idea imbalanced schedule. That’s a lot of teams turning it down from our league alone! Now, money talks so who knows.

Re: St. Bonaventure Preview and Game Thread -- A-10 Quarterf

I want them in the NIT but I don’t see it. LU will be behind Richmond, St. Bonny, and VCU for sure in the NET too. St. Joe’s and Duquesne may also be ahead of LU in the NET. Our NET will fall and we were an 8 seed before.

Co-champs but remember with a non balanced conference schedule because of ...
