As far as how to follow these games:
You’ll want to go to our 2020 Virtual NIT page and just keep refreshing to watch game scores update live (I’m going to be keying these in from the possession-by-possession simulations Joe sends me). We’ll also have intermittent updates on the official The Barking Crow Twitter account, and I’ll be offering commentary on my own Twitter account as time allows.
Expect a First Round preview tomorrow morning. Enter our bracket challenge if you haven’t already. Prepare yourself emotionally. It’s little compared to the real NIT, but this simulation is the best thing we’ve got this year. Let’s give it the same love we’d give the real thing.
