That's right, the NIT is the forgotten brackets that everyone has NOT been talking about.  While it's true as some say the NIT is the losers bracket, there are some good teams playing.  If you're spending all your time with the major tourney, you're missing some good games.  I suppose there is a good reason for the NIT, because we know know the NCAA doesn't have tournments if there's no money in it for them.  The field for the NIT is smaller, only 32 teams, but if any one is interested her are the results thur far:

Round 1 Winners:

No. 2 UMASS                   No. 3 Dayton

No.1 Ohio St                   No. 1 Virginia Tech

No. 1 Syracuse                No. 5 Ala-Birmingham

No. 4 S. Illinois               No. 2 Old Miss

No. 6 Arkon                    No. 2 Florida

No. 5 Maryland               No. 3 Nebraska

No. 3 Creighton              No.2 Illinois St

No. 1 Arizona St             No. 4 California

Round 2 Winners (thurs far)

No. 1 Syracuse

No. 1 Arizona St

No. 2 Florida

No. UMASS

Round 2 (con't Monday)
