Note: The NIT bracket has a new permanent home. I’ll still be posting with thoughts, but that will always have my most recent bracket.
We’re coming down the home stretch. This is latest and greatest in NIT bracketology. Continue reading “NIT Bracketology: March 9”
Note: The new bracket is out here.
March and the ensuing madness have arrived! There are only two weeks until Selection Sunday and here’s how I see the field breaking down as March 1. I’ve also broken down and included Kansas State and Florida. I think it’s highly unlikely that either team would be included if under .500, but… Their resumes aren’t awful. Continue reading “NIT Bracketology – March 2”
Note: There is a new NIT bracket out.
First off. There are two teams not in this latest edition of NIT bracketology that I probably have to explain. Both Florida and Kansas State aren’t in my 32 NIT teams. Why? Because neither currently projects to have a winning record. Continue reading “NIT Bracketology: Feb. 22”
An updated version of the NIT Bracketology is available here.
We all know it’s possible to game the RPI. Back in 2012, Luke Winn wrote an excellent piece on how some programs are able to manipulate it to their advantage. I like to believe that the NCAA selection committee has become more sophisticated over time, but RPI — and wins weighted by RPI strength — is still a key indicator of selection. Continue reading “NIT Bracketology: Feb. 8”
It is Feb. 1, which means that everyone can start to reasonably wonder about the postseason. The NCAA tournament is what every team (well, except NJIT and Brown at this point), sees as the shining light at the end of the season long struggle. Continue reading “Easiest Bubble Solver On Feb. 1”
We’re a few games into conference season, but things are no more clear in NIT Bracketology land. There are still too many teams on a too crowded bubble. Continue reading “NIT Bracketology: Jan. 26, 2015 Edition”
The approach of the New Year means it’s time to usher in a new season of NIT Bracketology. It’s really hard to speculate at the beginning of the season what the brackets will look like, but now that non-conference is wrapping up we’ve got a better feel for some teams. Continue reading “NIT Bracketology: Dec. 29, 2014”
When the 30th edition of NIT Season Tip-Off opens on Nov. 17 it will look completely different. Continue reading “Why The NIT Season Tip-Off Has A New Look”
Before I get into the actual bracket let me first concede that doing a projected NIT more than a month before the season actually starts is absolutely ridiculous. But since players are starting to practice, I figured I’d start practicing as well. Continue reading “Way Too Early NIT Projections”
Real quickly. I scored the three NIT brackets that I was aware of using the scoring method here. Both the Bracket Project and I missed three at-large teams, but since they did a little better seeding they came out on top this season. Poor Daniel Evans is really good at projecting the NCAA tournament. So he’s got bigger fish to fry! Continue reading “NIT Scoring”
