Four of those last 4 NCAA teams lost today. I am pretty sure you have to have a .500 record to get an NIT bid. Penn St is 4 games under .500.

I think the NIT and CBI allows losing records while the CIT doesn't. The NIT is much more prestigious and would be a great milestone for this program especially an at large bid. I'm sure a SOCON has gone at large before but I can't remember it. Maybe one of the old Davidson squads?

Don’t want to think about or discuss the NIT. We are going to the Big Dance!
