Sorry for the hiatus... but I'm back!
NIT Previews after the jump!
(6) Minnesota Golden Gophers @ (4) Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders
Minnesota has been the upset darlings thus far in the NIT, knocking out Miami (FL) 78-60, and La Salle 70-61. Did I mention they won these on the road? They travel to Murfreesboro to take on the Sun Belt regular season champs, MTSU. The Blue Raiders went to Knoxville and took down Tennessee 71-64 after dropping Marshall at home 86-78. I'm pretty well sold on MTSU right now, but Minnesota has played awesome basketball down the stretch, going back to the Big Ten Tournament where they eliminated Northwestern.
Robby's pick: Minnesota
(5) Nevada Wolfpack @ (3) Stanford Cardinal
Stanford was able to hold off the upset attempt from Illinois State Monday night 92-88 and will get another attempt to hold down their home court against a dangerous Nevada team. Nevada made short work of Bucknell, 75-67, and Oral Roberts in Tulsa, 68-59. Depending on how worn down Stanford is, I like their chances against the Wolfpack. However, the opportunity is there for Nevada to advance to MSG tonight.
Robby's pick: Stanford
