[NU Sports] NIT Seeds

[Eric West]

I don't think there is any reason for us to complain about seeding or 
home court or anything even close to that. We were very fortunate that 
the NIT chose us at all. Notice that we are the only #7 seed that wasn't 
an automatic qualifier. They reached waaay down to grab us, when they 
could have taken Arizona -- a much more storied program 21 rungs higher 
in the RPI -- and forgotten all about us.

Our last ten games include four losses to teams that aren't anywhere 
near the NIT. Let's worry about Rhode Island before assuming we would 
just breeze through Cincy and Dayton/ISU. Less whining and more winning, 
please.
