@TheSeahawkPerch Finished the play. Which is something you try to teach the youths. But dang that was something else entirely.

Sometimes you lay down a bunt so good that it gets you KTFO at first base

@RobbieDidThat @TimmyH2 I think the TV money is the trick. There's a reason the power # have expanded beyond their standard geography. More eyeballs more money. But if you stay too local you lose some of that selling point (for the TV money). I'm all in from a fan point. A lovely thought experiment.

They’d get way more money for having such an awesome league schedule, thus better players, thus better results against the top programs. A lot of programs in this group capable of a deep tourney run. Several already have made them. Almost all have won tourney games. Gonzaga walked before they ran.

This sounds fun until you're in it and they still won't give you multiple bids or any p# games.

@seahawk96 @TheSeahawkPerch I hope they break @CAASports back (and the @flosports deal)

@TheSeahawkPerch Starting to feel like the CAA is blacklisted by ESPN. ESPN controls every NIT platform. All but 3 second-round games are on ESPN channels, not behind the paywall ESPN+. Yet Dayton vs UNCW, the most competitive game by the odds, is on ESPN+. Make that make sense. #NIT #UNCW

Anyway, the real bracket is updated.

Wish I could be there. Kick ass! (and hopefully Wake wins too and I'll see you in my backyard!)

This Kentucky - Santa Clara game man. I love March.

It’s time these ACC teams start scheduling better instead of stacking up cupcake conference wins.

Shoutout to UNCW for allowing their students to create a fun environment #NIT

The cost of food allergy in the U.S. has reached $370.8 BILLION. A recent study estimates the average annual cost per patient at $22,000, a staggering increase compared to the $24.8 billion estimate for children reported just over a decade ago. This is not just a statistic. It represents millions of families managing a life-threatening disease every day. Food allergy research is critical to changing this trajectory. Today, leading policymakers and advocates will gather on Capitol Hill for a briefing hosted by the Congressional Food Allergy Research Caucus to discuss the rising impact of food allergy and the importance of advancing prevention and treatment through research. Tag your representatives and tell them to support food allergy research funding. The need for progress has never been greater. foodallergy.org/media-room/far…

@teacher_bracket @TheSeahawkPerch @NITMBB Yale set a pretty low bar for atmosphere. I recall presold (or just capacity) tickets was once a determining factor (even back in the day the big boys had priority).

@TheSeahawkPerch Any clarification @NITMBB ?

We *should* be above Bradley for hosting priority, but it can be fairly random. Dayton could also find an alternate arena locally. In 2011, UNC played in Carmichael because the Smith Center was booked. Incredible atmosphere vs. William & Mary.

@TheSeahawkPerch And even then who hosted whom was a grab bag.

@TheSeahawkPerch I remember watching NIT games at Reynolds coliseum. Pre RBC PNC Lenovo whatever you call it now. It was just fun. I hope Trask gets to do it.

All of us right now, @kurtwessler

CHRISTIAN MAY APPRECIATION NIGHT

It's time

I still don't know what to think. @uncwmenshoops Twitter. Goodness how did that happen?

@kurtwessler @TheSeahawkPerch @colleen_wessler @uncwmenshoops The empty seats sucks. Should have played to a full house at Trask.

To borrow it from @colleen_wessler LFG!!!!!! @uncwmenshoops as an UNDERDOG????!!! Love it!!

fun facts with Blooper if Italy holds out, their national teams will have won a baseball AND rugby game against the countries that invented each sport within the last week (hoping this is a jinx)

.@CAASports bring the tournament into ACC backyard. @greensboroswarm @gsocomplex would be pretty sweet. @TheSeahawkPerch (re tournament doesn't belong in DC)
