Are they trying to assure as little attendance and viewership as possible? Idiotic time/date selection.

2023 NIT Tourney Thread
- Thread starter Da Lama
- Start date
You guys do realize that CU doesn't choose the time, right?
And, I am sure, you understand the term "they" is general, and might include others than CU.
1:00 a.m., don't be a whiner.
"They" assuredly understand when the game will earn the most money from ESPN and put the game there.
"They" are not making it convenient for me, however, which is the only metric I care to analyze.
Buffs had 3 more players then. Our offense was still making shots but the defense was not nearly as good as it is now.
One of them is probably Coach Prime. The other is probably Tad. Guaranteed Rick wasn't involved except for accepting the checks.

Officiating might have something do with it. The guys who work our game are likely working at Ball tomorrow.
Victory over Utah Valley=another home game. Rutgers lost.
I am just bummed I won't be able to attend, I enjoyed the last game and was hoping for a Sat. afternoon tip. Either way, I am happy they beat Seton Hall and will be hoping for a win over Utah Valley.
Meh. East Coast bias.
See you at the horse!Bought my tickets today.
Not a terrible idea. Haven’t done that in years.
TO THE HORSE!

NIT POSTSEASON FACTS: Colorado makes its second-straight National Invitation Tournament (NIT) appearance and 13th overall. The Buffaloes are a No. 3 seed in one of four eight-team regions.
With its 65-64 win over Seton Hall in the first round, Colorado improved to 14-11 all-time in the NIT and advances past the first round for the seventh time in 13 appearances.
Overall, this is Colorado's 29th postseason tournament past the conference level. Head coach Tad Boyle leads the Buffaloes into their 11th national-level postseason appearance in 12 possible seasons (no postseason in 2020 due to covid). Included in that span is a school-record seven-straight appearances from 2011 to 2017. Prior to that seven-year run, no Colorado team had participated in the postseason more than two consecutive years.
Colorado is 55-74 in all-time postseason play, including conference tournaments; 26-29 on the national level (NCAA, NIT, CBI). The Buffaloes won the NIT title in 1940. Colorado also has a runner-up finish in 1938, a third place showing in 1991 and a semifinal appearance in 2011.

Tonight is all that matters, but just in case wanted to mention that, in the game to determine the next opponent for the winner of tonight's game, #4 seed Cincinatti got the 79-65 win yesterday over unseeded Hofstra (who had defeated regional #1 seed Rutgers in the 1st round). (Box score - https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore/_/gameId/401526897 .)
All the next round (quarterfinal) games are scheduled to be played either this coming Tuesday or Wednesday.
Note - Not exactly sure how home games are determined as Hofstra, although unseeded, hosted their game with #4 Cincinatti yesterday.

8 minutes of uninterrupted basketball...can't remember the last time I saw that.
Lovering shooting with confidence, 6 points already. Not layups either.
