Title: *** Official NIT Thread *** Post by: ssmith general on March 15, 2011, 10:38:26 AM Coastal Carolina visits for NIT opener
Quote The Crimson Tide basketball team will host the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers in the opening round of the 2011 NIT tonight in Coleman Coliseum. Tip-off is set for 6:00 CST, with the game being televised nationally on ESPNU. For the first time all season, Bama doesn't want to be playing in Coleman Coliseum, where the Tide is a perfect 16-0 on the season. Alabama would rather be playing in far-off Dayton tonight in the opening games of the NCAA Tournament, but the selection committee, in all its wisdom, decided that was not to be. Instead, Bama's players will have to quickly re-focus on the consolation prize of college basketball: a place in the NIT. Coastal Carolina qualified for the NIT by winning the Big South conference championship. All conference champions who fail to win their conference tournament and fail to get an at-large bid receive automatic bids to the NIT.

Quote TUSCALOOSA -- One by one, 68 college basketball teams celebrated Sunday night when NCAA tournament pairings were announced on national television. In Coleman Coliseum, a 69th team sat and simmered. "Very quiet," Alabama senior forward Chris Hines said Monday when asked to describe the team's reaction. "Disheartening." The Crimson Tide couldn't believe it didn't receive an at-large berth. "It was tough on us. We were shocked, disappointed, mad," junior forward JaMychal Green said. "Our seniors are taking it hard. Everybody is." Roughly 22 hours later, reality was only starting to sink in. "I guess we just have to move on," Green said.

Point guard Kierre Greenwood suffered a season-ended knee injury in late February. That was just after leading scorer Desmond Holloway (18.5 ppg) was suspended indefinitely.

Title: Alabama clocks Coastal Carolina in NIT opener Post by: SUPERCOACH on March 15, 2011, 08:42:12 PM Associated Press TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Tony Mitchell, Charvez Davis and Trevor Releford all scored 12 points to lead Alabama to a 68-44 victory over Coastal Carolina on Tuesday night in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament. The top-seeded Crimson Tide (22-11), which felt jilted at being left out of the NCAA field after winning the SEC West, built a 20-point lead late in the first half and never let the short-handed Chanticleers (28-6) get anything going. Now 17-0 at Coleman Coliseum, Alabama will host either New Mexico or UTEP.
