3/11/12 9:14 PM28/32. blah. should have had in: iowa, la salle, cleveland st., illinois st. should have had out: pittsburgh, george mason, weber st., illinois

3/11/12 7:27 PM: Last second gut feeling change: Maryland out as the last team, George Mason in. I reserve the right to make a bunch of these...

3/11/12 6:40 PM: 67/68 on NCAA teams... Iona gets in over Seton Hall, which I have no qualms with. Final NIT seeding and bracket is set. Tune into the NIT Selection Show at 9 pm on ESPNU to see how we did...

3/11/12 4:12 PM: Bonnies do indeed win, so Washington moves down to the field. NIT bracket is final pre-NCAA selection bracket, we'll see how we do with that tourney. I'm guessing better than the 65 for 68 of last year!

3/11/12 2:01 PM: These seeds are pretty much final. Waiting on the A10 championship, which will knock Washington out of the NCAA field if St. Bonaventure wins. Final pre-selection bracket will be posted after that game...
