I never knew the NIT was so popular. Nearly every team at or near the bottom of the bracket found a way to lose this weekend, sometimes in spectacular fashion, in an effort to play themseles into that tourament.

Where do we start? How about in the SEC.

probably responding to how all the #1's were playing recently: no one wanted the #1 seed either, there for awhile.
