    Somehow = full arena
  • wildcats20
    ^^Well most likely it will be a full arena now playing at tiny Carmichael.
  • queencitybuckeye
    Still will draw more that at Bill & Mary.

    Rough year.
    They didn't want in those ones, and didn't entertain the offers.

    Correct.

    Carmichael seats 8,010.
    Bill & Mary(lol) seats 8,600.

    I would almost guarantee more people will be at a game at Carolina than at W&M.
  • darbypitcher22
    well I guess this gives some school some extra revenue opportunities.

    Its one of the underlying reasons teams accept bids
  • wildcats20
    FWIW...

    The game tonight in Carmichael is sold out.
  • ironman02
    UConn slipped past Northeastern, 59-57, earlier tonight.

    Carolina and W&M tipping off at 9:40PM. Hope Carmichael is rocking, even though it's the NIT.
  • ironman02
    W&M is money from outside...gonna be a long night considering Carolina's lack of perimeter D.
  • wildcats20
    It seems as it if it Iron...

    We'll see how long it lasts...
  • ironman02
    Carolina jumps out to a 9-0 lead and now trails 12-11 on four W&M threes.

    Please don't lose in the first round of the NIT. Please.
  • ironman02
    Other than that awful turnover, Ginyard is playing well. 7 points early on.

    Heels not playing too bad at the moment...hope it lasts.
  • wildcats20
    OK now I can watch this...

    John Henson has thrown up 2 or 3 shoots that basically hit the top of the back board...WTF
  • ironman02
    Other NIT Final Scores for tonight:

    UAB 65 - Coastal Carolina 49

    Several other games in progress right now.
  • wildcats20
    I really wish Dexter Strickland would have got more playing time this year. He at least has the balls to push it unlike Drew II
  • ironman02
    NC State 58 - South Florida 57 - Final.

    A potential third meeting between the Heels and Pack is still alive.
  • ironman02
    Henson playing VERY well after throwing up some awful shots early.
  • wildcats20
    Iron...

    I'm gonna make another thread for the game so it's not all Carolina on here...lol
  • ironman02
    Ok, sounds good to me. I was reluctant to start one because I didn't know how people would feel about a bunch of NIT talk.

    And also because I figured we would be ridiculed mercilessly for Carolina actually playing in the NIT. :)
  • wildcats20
    lol

    And I guess I was real wrong about State not beating South Florida...
  • Mulva
    Seton Hall is embarrassing.

    I know they were better this year than they have been recently, but is there any chance Bobby Gonzalez gets fired? 5 seasons, not a single NCAA bid, just had a guy kicked off the team, Herb Pope gets ejected from their game tonight for throwing a pair of low blows. The guy has rubbed just about everyone in the Big East (including other coaches, his own players, and players parents) the wrong way.
  • Mulva
    Well that didn't take long. Gonzalez gone.
