I know many do not want Xavier to play in the NIT but Xavier was selected and accepted a bid to the NIT.
They will play Georgia who is the 4 seed. I guess at Georgia since X is not seeded.
Seton Hall is the top seed playing St. Joes.
Providence is the 3 seed playing Boston College in the same region as Seton Hall.

I actually love the NIT for matching us up with arch-rival Georgia!

Totally shocked by this! A pleasant surprise that they got in and it’s even better that they didn’t match them up with UC in the 1st round!

Same. Easily the best part of X accepting a bid.

If just non losing record we need to win 3 games. Winning record we need to win 4."I’m willing to sacrifice everything for this team.

So St. Johns is the only Big East team who declines an invite.

I think Pitino understands the bigger picture. Get to the off-season, figure out the priorities and attack hard. I assume the only reason X isn’t doing the same is because the guys on the team wanted to play more. That’s fine, hope they have fun and enjoy it. Originally Posted by D-West & PO-Z

If X wins 2-3 games does that count as a winning record?
