I'm not sure if this is a snub, I think it was more with the rules of the time but in 1970 our basketball team was 25-3 (14-0 in ACC play) lost in the conference title game and didn't get in. Also couldn't get into the NIT because we were hosting it or something so we had that record and no post-season play.

Yep,lost the ACC tourney final to NC State. Only one team could represent a conference until 1975.

Yep, NCAA didn't care for the NIT and if you were hosting a regional on your home court,no NIT for you,either. This cost Vanderbilt an NIT bid in 1973 and Alabama one in 1974.
