Iona in NIT bracketology

[Joebird]

And this was before Sunday. Last 4-8 teams usually get bumped by NIT automatic bids. Iona at 7 vs Penn state, puts them on the bubble. I think if Gaels make Maac championship and lose we make the NIT.

Also Iona 26th (first also receiving votes) in Mid Major top 25. this poll is awful but I keep following it.

Agree that if we reach the finals and lose we'll be in the NIT.

Also agree that that poll is pathetic. Hofstra just entered the rankings and Iona's not ranked. Maybe someone should tell the panel that the Pride lost by 25 to the Gaels?

I am Keeping my eye on NCAA seeding and I do think your 13 scenario is more likely than I thought. I think to get a 13 we need an upset in one of 6 leagues, this could put a team with an RPI worse than us in the tourney and push us up a seed, this includes Atlantic Sun, MVC, Colonial, West Coast, Horizon and Atlantic 10.

I also think committee could very well line us up either 3/14 or 4/13 with St. Johns and put us in Washington, winner has a chance to play in Newark.

Now lets win 3 so this talk actually means something.

Todays Bleacher Report has Fairfield as a 15 seed. Jordan Schwartz who does the bracketology for them has been fairly accurate in the past.

No chance in hell Fairfield gets a 15. NONE.
