Ok, I agree. 2 seed is good and that's what we got!! Awesome!

Still don't get any respect even in NIT. Kinda used to it. We are going to have to earn it.

I think this will actually allow us to go to more games. I think that is the bright spot here.

This is a pretty good article to put it in perspective. https://www.google.com/amp/s/thehuskyhaul.com/2012/03/23/where-would-an-nit-championship-rank-compared-to-the-ncaa-tournament/amp/

Wyoming was a dumb play in. That was the one I thought we should jump.

And how does Baylor essentially get a home game??? Ft. Worth.

We should just have Joe Lunardi do the brackets. Why even have a committee? They just tow the line.

That's why I think it should just be based on NET for the at-large. As much as they say it isn't a popularity contest. We know it is.

I don't understand this either. Makes no sense. At this point, it leaves a lot of pretty good teams playing in the NIT. That is good for us.

I agree. Dammit.

Yeah, I think that was it. 😢

I think the A&M game helps our decision. If A&M loses I believe we could slide into their spot.

Looks like we may want to keep an eye on that Richmond game. One model says we are last in unless Richmond wins.

Uh oh. This is going to fire up @Andrew

That's what I was wondering earlier today. I would think they would consider it.

I am feeling this way also. Still an open wound. I am trying to feel better about the NIT. I feel like we could do some damage and if we win it, it would definitely be better than a second round exit in the big Dance.

Well.... I do love you guys.

Yes, I saw that too. And I could say that we could look at the glass half empty and say Kansas had an off night. Unfortunately we don't get the same with our loss. To Rise's point though, I think 3 Quad 4 losses outweigh that.

I can see those two points. In looking at ESPNs bracket, they have Wyoming making it and they look almost identical to us on paper. Also, they lost in their Semifinal. One other thought. If LA Tech wins the CUSA championship and gets the automatic bid, how does that look to the committee? Seems like it could possibly help some! If you can't tell, my green googles haven't come off since our loss and I know I might be grasping at air here.

Completely understand your point. I did a little legwork and looking at that list of teams, I don't see how we do not look better than Dayton. Dayton has 3 losses in Quad 4. You could also say that VCU is very, very close to us in terms of Quad W/L. Obviously there are other factors, but just saying it really should be right on the edge.

I know the site isn't a big name, but an interesting take. The last two in are VCU and North Texas. VCU's resume average of 31.5 would be unprecedented to leave out and despite a resume that doesn't blow you away, I still think their performance with Ace Baldwin is enough coupled with the resume for inclusion. North Texas looks stunningly similar to 2019 Belmont, who made the field. Nearly identical NET, Q1+2 records, and Q3 losses. It would certainly be in Dayton, but the Mean Green have a tourney type profile. http://www.crackedsidewalks.com/2022/03/saturday-morning-madness.html?m=1

Rice it is.

I usually try and forget that part, but remember the game!

Wow, that is awesome! Anyone know Randy and Witten's ties to NT?

If you have Fubo, you can watch it through that service.
