Every time a #1 seed loses in a conference tournament the at large field shrinks.

Yeah, it's really hard to get into the NIT if you aren't on the NCAA bubble.

The NIT bubble life is a rough life to live.

That was Saturday.

The link is current as of this morning from a more dedicated group of NITologists.

this one falls on the b12 head office
a little foresight would have dictated auto-NIT bids for teams who earn at least an 8 seed in the conference championship.  similar to how the champion gets the auto NCAA bid, but kind of different.

Beating OSU will be meaningless. It appears that the only hope for NIT action lies in upsetting the Hawks.

There are times when what happens seems a lot like something that has happened in the past.

Then there are times when what happens is almost complete deja vu.

Quote
"I remain wholly committed to continuing the progress we have made and firmly believe that we are moving in a positive direction," K-State basketball coach said. "We were one of the youngest teams in the Big 12 this past season and I think we are very excited about the future prospects for our program."

"Over the last 24 hours, that's really been the only disappointment," K-State coach said. "We were very disappointed in the fact that we didn't make the NIT tournament."

"After a thorough review of our men's basketball program, it was clear that there are good things happening and enough progress being made that it is only prudent to give K-State coach and his staff more time to continue the building process," K-State AD said in a statement.

"All I've been concerned about has been our players," K-State coach said. "That's who we're concerned about - our players and the direction they are going."

Now is deja vu: http://www.nabc.org/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/031605aab.html

I don't want to try and look it up. But if we destroy OSU and lose by KU by one we have good chance to be the highest ranked kenpom team not to make the tournament ever.

as long as sfa finished higher, that would be very funny.

Even if we don't make it this year (I believe we had more injuries than any team in recent Big 12 memory), it makes a nice goal for next year. An NIT berth next season would be great momentum for Wade's junior and senior years.

SFA needs to beat Valpo. But we do need OSU to hire Bryce, team two Drews.

Well we weren't even on the bubble last year, so take that trajectory and compute it!

We came in with the goal to get in the NCAA. The only opportunity we have now is to win four in a row. If we win three, we’re pushing it and maybe there’s some talk

mission accomplished:  some talk

Is the Vegas 16 better than the CBI?

I don't think so, basketball-wise.

Quote
The CBI selects 16 teams that are not selected for the NCAA Tournament or the National Invitation Tournament[1] (NIT).

Quote
The 2016 Vegas 16 tournament is a single-elimination tournament of 16 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I teams that did not participate in the NCAA Tournament, the NIT, the College Basketball Invitational, or the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament.

And the CIT is generally for viakoffman-majors.
