Tonight is Vanderbilt’s opening round game in the NIT, and the opening round opponent is the kind of school that used to have a bulldog smoking a pipe as its logo, the alma mater of C. Montgomery Burns, also known as the New Haven Nuisance.
Obviously, we’d prefer to be playing in the NCAA Tournament, but Vanderbilt has quite the history in the NIT — winning the thing in 1990, making the finals in 1994, and making the quarterfinals in 1987, 1998, 2005, 2015, and 2022.
