All the number one seeds are out. Bakersfield, beat #1 Cal, and leads Colorado State by 20 at the half. If they win, UTA as a 6th seed will host (Bakersfield is the 8th seed), for a chance to go to the final 4 at the Garden. UTA should have been in the NCAA tourney. They have a real shot at winning the NIT. Would be pretty cool for our league, if they do, although I don't know how many folks care who wins the NIT. Still, about half the NIT field is better than the last 16 teams in the NCAA tournament.

People connected to college basketball definitely care about the NIT!
