Bracket is done; Broncs at ODU Tuesday
It took almost five hours after the NIT field was announced, but the Gazelle Group has finally ended the wait and given us a bracket.
The mystery 16th team happens to be Rider's first-round opponent: Old Dominion.
The Broncs and Monarchs will play at ODU on Tuesday night. Tip time is to be determined.
The Monarchs (17-15) finished fourth in the Colonial Athletic Association, behind Virginia Commonwealth, George Mason and UNC-Wilmington.
They have an RPI of 129 -- 20 spots below Rider (109), so I'm not sure what factors went into ODU getting the better seed and the home game.
With that, I'm gonna get some sleep, then hopefully make it into the City tomorrow for the St. Patrick's Day parade.
Many thanks to everyone who followed along and chipped in with their thoughts on the CBI.

$60k fee to host games in the CBI. Rider ain't footing that expense.
Totally ridiculous that Rider didn't get into the NIT. Regular season conference champion, they didn't follow that rule I see... total garbage.
