Tuesday NIT
The funny thing about the NIT is how it chooses who plays whom, and where; none of Final Four ventured on the road in the first three rounds. Guess this is what they wanted.........
Maryland, South Carolina both got to NIT semis with three home wins; Gamecocks had wins by 2,11,3 pts, while Terrapins beat won by 13,15,12, but they played Oral Roberts, Davidson and TCU, lesser foes. South Carolina was 2-3 as SEC road dog; four of their last five games were decided by three or less points, or in overtime. Terrapins played in spurts during their three home wins, which followed four straight losses.
Martelli promised that St Joe's would bring 6,000 fans to New York for this, which would make it home game for Hawks. Memphis won six of last seven games, with only loss in C-USA finals, when frosh PG Washington missed two FTs after buzzer in 75-74 loss. St Joe's is 15-2 in last seventeen games, losing by nine in finals of A-12 tournament. Hawks beat Hofstra, Holy Cross, Buffalo, all at home, all by less than ten points. Tigers beat Virginia Tech, Vanderbilt, Northeastern.
