Looking at this, a few scores of note:

Davidson lost. Davidson has a lower NET, worse record, and currently plays in a lower ranked conference.

Georgia Southern lost. Some brackets had them in.

I think we'll benefit from the result of the C-USA championship between ODU and WKU. I guess we'd prefer ODU win that one.

Keep an eye on Abilene Christian v. WKU. Need ABU to take the autobid there.

Montana just beat EWU, so that saves another bid.

I guess we need to pull for Washington to beat Oregon, which would likely eliminate a potential bid thief.

UC Irvine plays CS Fullerton laster. Same story. Irvine needs to win the auto.

Doesn't hurt that we now have a win over the Big East champs on the road.

Abilene Chrsitian is playing New Orleans in the Southland final. That is a 2 vs. 3 so probably doesn't matter who wins that one.

FYI- ESPN has 5 NIT games scheduled for Tuesday, 2 at 7, 2 at 9 and 1 at 11. On Wednesday they only have 2 scheduled, 1 at 7 and 1 at 9. Chances of being on TV the first round are pretty slim. They have 2 games scheduled at noon and 2 on Saturday which would be second round games. They have 2 second round games scheduled for Sunday 2 and 4PM. So chances of being on TV are 50/50 in the second round.

The Pac12 is truly pathetic, should be a 1 bid league with only the tourney champ getting in
Yep #1 Washington with just over 10 minutes left had 28 points and had scored 2 points in the second half.
I watched some of the Washington/Oregon game. Even for a guy that doesn't know that much about basketball, you could tell it was bad basketball.

The point is, you can watch every game on your real tv screen. As to your point, all but 5 of last years first round games were on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU. The other 5 were on ESPN3.

Then it looks they are cutting back this year as they only have 7 first round games a=scheduled.
I count 8 games on Tuesday night and 4 on Wednesday night. That leaves 4 games on your big screen to watch ESPN3. The odds of our game being on the real tv screen are 100%. I’ll be at Timmons watching the game live.
