Here are my predictions for the Semfinal of the 2017 NIT tournament. The games will be held at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, New York.
S = Syracuse quadrant; C = California quadrant; IST = Illinois State quadrant; I = Iowa quadrant.
3/28- (C8) CS Bakersfield vs (S6) Georgia Tech- 7:00, ESPN: The Roadrunners have been on a nice run getting to the Garden by winning three straight road games, mostly in blowout fashion and that makes it impressive. The Yellow Jackets have done a good job winning three straight to get here too and I like Josh Pastner's team to advance to the championship game in a close one.
Prediction: Georgia Tech
3/28- (I4) TCU vs (IST4) UCF- 9:00, ESPN: This game is interesting as well. Both of these teams who have first year coaches in Jamie Dixon for the Horned Frogs and Johnny Dawkins for the Knights have done a great job in their respective first seasons at their schools. That said, the Frogs are the better team and will advance to the championship.
Prediction: TCU
