Why on earth would the P-NIT organizers send Santa Clara and Arizona all the way across country to play in an empty gym in Athens, GA at 5:45 on a Tuesday? That's idiotic. How does that help ticket sales for the P-NIT? How does that help the schools?
Damn. I was excited at first. Arizona in Athens would be a very big deal.

Did you see the end of Arizona's game last night?
D'oh!!
That does not make any sense at all. A college football playoff will not work because of the strain of sending teams all around the country, yet there is not a problem with sending basketball teams from the west coast all the way to Athens, Georgia for a meaningless game...Does Miles Simon or Gilbert Arenas still play for the Cats?
Where do I have to stand in line to get those Missippi Valley vs. UGA basketball tickets?
It's not set up like a tournament because it's a Consolation bracket.
Teams that sign up for the P-NIT are guaranteed to play 4 games. That's all. That's why it's playing out this way.
As for why they have Arizona flying cross country to play here, I think it's punishment for the way they lost to UAB. They earned a trip to the big empty Stegosaurus with those 2 dumb fouls!
So what's our punishment for losing to Loyola?
our punishment...?
We're still Georgia basketball.
You're looking at it the wrong way. Losing to Loyola IS our punishment for hiring Dennis Felton.
Did you happen to see that the final 30+/- seconds in the last AZ game took over seven minutes to play. Can they do something about speeding up the games, like they did in football?
Here's my suggestion to speed up basketball games: eliminate the first half. No-one cares about basketball until the end of the game anyway...
