Don't be so sure that these are right (unless officially reported by a school maybe). On the UNCW message board, they have heard that they are not in according to a reporter that got in touch with gazelle group.

Come on, don't spoil our fun. This is only Brown's 4th postseason appearance in school history, and we are on our winningest season ever.

Georgia is mediocrity being rewarded.

Man I must've been on a desert island the past year. I never heard of the CBI before today, is this just b/c the NIT is now 32 teams?

Honestly, I think it's a little bit ridiculous....

Cincinnati finished (13-18) and got an invitation. I guess there were no CYO teams available?

Candidate for most ludicrous statement involving NCAA basketball. Georgia earned their spot in the NCAA tournament.

Even though we have a disagreement about bubble teams I agree with this statement. You win your tourney you go to the Big Dance. If you don't want low seeds in, then don't allow everyone to go to the conference tourney.

We're actually not too far apart in the bubble disagreement, maybe on the wording, but the general idea, we're pretty close.

Brown lost to Ohio tonight, 80-74 to end its season at 19-10.

Brown was up 31-21 in the 1st half, and Brown's Damon Huffman, in his last game for the Bears, scored a career-high 39 points.

Maybe next year we'll make the real dance.
