2012 NIT Finals Bracket Pick
By Mike Vamosi
Tonight the NIT moves to Madison Square Garden for the finals in New York. It’ll be Pacific 12 versus Big Ten at the world’s most famous arena. I went 1-1 with my Tuesday night picks so
6 Minnesota Golden Gophers v. 3 Stanford Cardinal, Tonight at 4 pm (PDT) on ESPN
If you want to see the entire path of how both these teams arrived in the finals feel free to see my previous posts. Minnesota took down one seed Washington in OT Tuesday night to make the finals. Stanford defeated Massachusetts by ten to reach the finals. This will be a good match-up between teams who weren’t picked to make it this far (by me or others), both want to cap this offseason with the win. The Pick: Stanford
12-4 First Round (missed Akron over Northwestern, Arizona over Bucknell, Oral Roberts over Nevada, Mississippi over Illinois State)
4-4 Second Round (I had Miami (FL) beating Minnesota, Seton Hall beating Massachusetts, and not having the other team correct at all I gave myself losses having picked Arizona, Ole Miss and Oral Roberts winning in round one). I did hit on 11 of the 16 second round teams for what it’s worth. Overall through the second round I’m 16-8. Thanks for reading.
1-3 Quarterfinals (Only got Minnesota right)
1-1 Semifinals (Picked Stanford)
18-12 heading into the finals
