Ohio State because they have the easiest route to MSG because in the Final Four they would play OLE MISS or VTECH and in the title they may have a rematch of the NCAA Title game ly and they have more experience then UF.


I'm going to say that Florida will win the NIT.

Florida's got the coach who's won the last 2 NCAA championships, they're wicked hot, and they demolished everyone's favorite for the NCAA Tourney's biggest snub in Arizona State ON ASU'S HOME COURT.

With Nick Calathes running the post, Marreese Speights in the block, and role players Walter Hodge and Chandler Parsons, the Gators have the best depth and have the most players that can score at one time, which is what won them their last 2 national championships, you never knew whether it'd be Brewer, Horford, Noah, Green, or even Lee Humphrey scoring, but you could always count on there being offense from somewhere on that roster. Walter Hodge was on both of those championship teams, and Marreese Speights was on last year's, so it's not like there's nothing but freshman for the Gators.

Ohio State has suffered from the same amount of player loss as the Gators have, losing from last year's team Greg Oden, Mike Conley, and Daequan Cook, their three major cogs on their title attempt.


I am still saying OSU because they have the record a better team overall an will turn around the championship and finally beat UF to win the NIT G Jamar Butler will lead them to the NIT championship and they have won all their games by atleast 20 pts this tourney Jamar Butler has scored a combined 41 pts in the first two games and he will produce more as they get ddeeper in the NIT field.


How can you justify Jamar Butler producing more against the better competition? Right now, the teams he's played against are UNC-Asheville and California, two absolutely FANTASTIC teams that are defensive JUGGERNAUTS. Wait, NO. That's a lie. Those two teams are bad even by NIT standards.

Ohio State's next opponent is Dayton, a team which is returning Chris Wright from injury. When they had Wright at the beginning of this year, they beat Louisville and Pittsburgh, two teams that were way better than Ohio State was this year, before losing him to injury at the beginning of Atlanttic 10 conference play. Dayton's already won a game on the road in this tourney, there's no reason they can't do it again. I'm not sure Ohio State even makes it out of this round and to New York. If they get there, they'll be looking at either Mississippi or Virginia Tech, neither of whom is a slouch, and then if they make the finals they'll either be staring at Florida or UMass. However, those are BIG ifs.

I certainly hope it's the Bucks, but Hemo's arguments are winning me over thus far.
