2021 NIT Bracket Contest

[SluSignGuy]

For the first time ever, Billikens.com will (try) to have a NIT Bracket Contest. I have no idea if this plugin will work, but we can give it a go.  With that, the prize is not guaranteed.  But if the plugin does work, the winner will get 6 Bonus Reactions.

To enter,

1. Go to https://www.billikens.com/2021nit/
2. Click the "Enter your Predictions" button
3. For your name/nickname, put your Billikens.com username
4. Enter your email and click submit
5. Select the winner of each game
   1. The Plugin I am using (Common Ninja) says you can change your predictions, but I don't know how this is done.  So please consider your entry final once picked.
6. After submitting all your picks, you will be emailed a link to your bracket

The deadline to enter is WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17 at 6pm Central.

Again, I am not 100% sure if this software will work as planned - so my apologies in advance if everything blows up.  

Overall, consider this stupid fun, where it may blow up in our face.

I am also not going to lie that I feel a little ridiculous that I made what may be the only competitive NIT Bracket on the internet...

The internet is a weird place Steve.  I’d wager this is not the only competitive NIT bracket.

You are likely right.  I have seen them in the past. Just wish so few fans invested in the NIT, and fewer teams in the NIT this year, I suspect brackets are pretty rare.

i'm in.   took me a little bit to figure out how to get the program to work, but i got it.  probably be the first time i took an interest in the NIT since Bonner graduated.

Thanks, Steve for your efforts on this.  I usually bomb out of the NCAA brackets by the 2nd weekend, so maybe I'll be luckier on this one...especially if THE BILLS go all the way!

That would be fun, but I have Dayton losing in round 1.  Their losses this season to inferior opponents make me think they'll won't really be amped up to play an NIT game.  I also think Memphis is one of the best teams in the field.  Memphis won 10 of their last 13 and the 3 losses (@ SMU, @ Houston, neutral Houston) were by a combined 7 points.  None of the wins are particularly impressive (H - Wichita, H - SMU, and @ Cinci are the best ones), but I still think they're primed for an NIT run.

I appreciate that more people are currently registered for the NIT Contest than the NCAA Contest.

Bump.

Deadline to enter is 6pm (Central) tonight!  Over 40 people are already entered!  Lets get to 50!

Well done, Steve. I'm in.

@SLUMedBilliken15 is also currently in 2nd place in the NCAA Bracket Contest.  We may have a new Wiz on our hands.

He cheated. I saw @SLUMedBilliken15climbing out of a DeLorean right before the brackets locked. He already knew what was gonna happen when he filled out his brackets. I demand a recount!
