Would a first round NIT game coincide with spring break?

Here is a list of eastern teams that are likely looking at NIT bids if they don't win their conference tourneys:

A-10: Rhode Island
B-E: Villanova
B-E: Boston College
B-E: Seton Hall
B-E: West Virginia
Col: Virginia Commonwealth?
ACC: North Carolina
ACC: NC State
ACC: Virginia
ACC: Clemson

8 out of 10 are from the Big East or ACC and the NIT would probably love to have those teams and their large fan bases.
URI would provide a nice matchup with BC and a VCU/UVA matchup could draw interest in Virginia.

We can probably assume that some mid-major tourney favorites (Manhattan, UNCW, Boston U?) won't win their tourneys, so that likely throws 1-2 more teams into the Eastern mix.

I think the Stags might have to get to at least 20 wins. Even at 19, they probably would not be chosen over a Big East or ACC team that has at least a .500 record, especially given that they have been non-competitive versus highly regarded majors.

I would love to Boston College as the 1st choice, but I also would like to see Holy Cross, if they don't win the Patriot.

Would be a heck of a kick in the pants for the Huskies. I would LOVE to see that happen...

Spring Break goes from Fri, Mar 7th to Sun, Mar 16th.

Students are away for the MAAC Tourney, but be back for any NCAA or NIT game.
