About to start on ESPNU at 7:30.

Last I saw we are projected to be a 3 seed.

Came across this article from February, NIT will experiment with rules to speed up game, NCAA announces

Basically, the team foul count will reset at the 10-minute mark in each half (don't know what happens in overtime).

Also, says NIT will experiment with setting shot-clock at 20 seconds instead of 30 when resetting and inbounding ball in the front court.

Anyone heard if these rules are truly a go for this year's NIT?

Love this! Hope it will be adopted in all NCAA games. I can't hardly stand to watch a game unless I have some fast-forwarding time so I can just ff thru free throws (this is coming from a former basketball junky).

Not good news. Tuscaloosa city and county schools are on spring break too. It's going to be a ghost town. I wish there was some way I could jam it in.

At least folks should be able to fill seats if they want to go. I like that season ticket holder seats will open up if they aren't going to be used.

I will be watching the game tomorrow to see if we can continue our hot streak... No matter what happens in the NIT tournament, I just want to see some things to show that we really did improved in the last few game or we just got lucky with this and that. I'm really proud of the team because I think they finally got it. I just wish the light came on in the middle of the season as opposed to the end of the season, but I'll take it. I'm excited about next year's class. With Next year, we'll have Norris, King, Petty, Sexton, Reese, Johnson Jr, Austin and Key.... whoooo, That's a dangerous team right there. I know our spot is full, but I wish we could take in a graduate transfer just for insurance purpose, but I can't help but wonder if we'll see 1-2 transfer soon.

A couple of things to take note of:

Ticket prices are low-only 10 bucks.
Seating is general admission

Show up early and get a good seat. We need to have a good crowd.

And Ingram and Giddens. A transfer would not surprise me either

With the current recruiting class, we're already one over the limit. Many expect Brandon Austin to transfer, which would put Bama at 13 players. If we are to get a grad-transfer, AJ would probably have to go off scholarship.

He didn't play much. He's not likely to contribute much next year.
