[NU Sports] NIT Seeds

[Sportsbiz]

Home games in the NIT are not determined exclusively by seeds, at least they
haven't been in the past.  The general rule is to continue with the higher
seeded team at home but if that arena is too small, ticket sales are bad or
other issues then the seedings won't hold.  I can remember the NIT moving
games away from the higher seed just because the lower seed guaranteed a
sold out arena through to NYC if they kept winning.  That was good enough
for the NCAA.
