[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 296642, member: 1776"] Couple of notes. on Tucker (who was on campus yesterday)- he is more of a GT-OR battle now with IND probably third. No free student tickets for NIT games. All tickets are $15 - NIT needs to get paid. (used to be $10). Regardless of the reason it is a big break for GT to get a home game. i suspect this may have been in the works for a few days if the NIT knew IND was not going to want a home game. NIT likes it's early round games at big schools - they feel they can get more money with larger fanbases. I'd actually argue they have it backwards. i'd schedule them at mid-majors as i suspect their fans would be pumped to play a big name school in their arena and would sell them out. GT has gotten a home game as a lower seed before. OSU wanted to play on the road rather than at home so GT got the home game in 2003. Hopefully the result is the same. IND is a very talented team. This was a Top 15 team early in the season that beat both Kansas and UNC . Even with Anouby out for the year they go 8 deep and change. Their roster includes 5* SG James Blackmon very high 4* center Thomas Bryant high 4* wing Robert Johnson 4* PF Juwan Morgan high 3* PG Josh Newkirk 4* PF De'von Davis 2 of their last 3 games they have shot over 58% FG and 50% 3 fG (with 12 made 3's in those 2 games). They are really good offensively (27th in OEff) but mediocre defensively. Also, UGA was an obvious 2 seed. They were not on the bubble, but were pretty close to it at the end of the season. They have a solid RPI and no bad losses (not alot of good wins either). NIT tends to be all about who is more motivated to play. Those teams that really want to play tend to do well, those that are disappointed tend to go home. [/QUOTE]
