The NIT bids have just come out.
Drexel gets the 3 seed in the East region, taking on No. 6 N.C. State. The game will tip off at 8 p.m. on Tuesday and will be televised on ESPNU. I'd love to know where it will take place.
UMass gets a 4 seed against 5-seed Alabama. That game will be at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday and will be televised by ESPN.
Delaware State is an 8-seed against 1-seed West Virginia. They'll play Tuesday but the time has not been announced yet.
Syracuse is a 2-seed in the South and will play South Alabama on Wednesday at 7 on ESPN (big surprise there).
And Hofstra out of the CAA gets a 6-seed against 3-seed DePaul. That game will also be Wednesday, but without TV, so no tipoff time is known yet.
So no St. Joe's, Fordham or Rhode Island. Having watched the Rams all week at the A-10 Tournament, I find it rather amazing that they didn't make it. I can understand Fordham and St. Joe's, but I think the light blue Rams got a bit jobbed.
