The NIT bracket was announced about an hour ago on ESPNU and things look good for the Cougars. The athletics department was able to pull the rabbit out of the hat and win a home game, despite being a lower seed than our opponent. The Cougars will be hosting the Dayton Flyers this Tuesday at 7pm on ESPN 2. The Flyers finished 7-9 in a tough A-10 conference and upset Xavier in the conference tourney. As the picture above shows, they also captured the NIT championship last year (added incentive for the Cougars to dominate).
In my humble opinion, things could not have turned out much better for the Cougars. The fans here in Chucktown get to see Goudelock and the boys play again, Dayton is a competent but very beatable team and the bracket is in our favor (a rematch against Vermont in the 2nd round is possible).
Tickets will be $20 for adults and $4 for students.
