The NIT second round also gets going right away with Florida State at Valparaiso. It’s not the first time these two have met in the postseason, as this was the second round matchup in the NCAA Tournament in 1998 when Valpo made the Sweet 16.

NCAA selection committee must learn from Vanderbilt mistake--Hoopville
In virtually every conceivable historic measure, if one is looking for teams capable of going deep in the NCAA Tournament-and we’re constantly told this is what the committee is charged with-then the last at-large bids should be going more to teams like Monmouth, St. Bonaventure, Saint Mary’s or Valparaiso (or even South Carolina, which was at least 8-6 vs. the top 100) and less to teams like Vanderbilt. That teams such as the former don’t get nine, 10, 12 chances at top 50 opponents is no reason in the least to exclude them, especially when in their limited opportunities they’ve proven successful (and when those opportunities are so limited by collusion by the schools with the most money).Season over as FSU basketball falls at Valparaiso--Tomahawk Nation
St. Bonaventure was 3-2 against the top 50, 7-5 against the top 100. Monmouth went 3-4 against the top 100 despite playing six of those seven games away from home. St. Mary’s went 6-3 against the top 100, Valparaiso 4-2. Was there evidence out there that showed these teams could beat good teams when they got the chance? You bet there was.
