A little but tougher schedule in the non conference and the SEC would have had nine teams.

The NCAA Selection Committee is so inconsistent, that we can't say that for sure.

No denying one thing, we played our best ball late and are much better even now. Everyone is back next year. I can't wait.

Do better next time. I mean if you were good enough you could've won the SEC tournament and got in.

NIT was right.

I mean if we are going to be in the NIT, you might as well win the damn thing.

we weren't an NCAA team this year but we had a better case than some of the jackrabbits that got in. however it is fun to watch your team play good ball

You play your way into the NCAA. We played our way into the NIT.

Not really.

Not a competitive enough schedule and not as many top wins.

Pretty simple.

Probably? Then why are you in the NIT?

Your RPI was in the 70s, you went 2-8 on the road, and you didn't have enough Q1 and Q2 wins. It was an easy call. Even with the soft OOC schedule, you had the opportunity to win more than enough games, but you lost vs Cincy, Arkansas, Florida, Alabama, Auburn, Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Then you added a few Ls to teams outside the top 100 in Ole Miss & Vandy.

Cincinnati at home
Arizona State on the road
A Big 12 team TBD
A Las Vegas tournament that has Nebraska and Marquette.

Not bad. Cincinnati at the Hump should be a rowdy deal.

How is Marquette playing in two exempt events? They are in the Preseason NIT with us and Kansas and Louisville.

Correct. Arkansas and Missouri come to mind. We did beat them both, after all.
