    UNI earns FIRST EVER NIT bid.

    Thought it deserved its own headline. We've been very spoiled over the last decade but prior to that, the thought of any type of postseason bid was a pipe dream.

    Sure, going into the Ohio game our sites were higher...and I'm one of many who have been critical of the team at times this year, but this is still an accomplishment and something the program can hang their hat on. If this is now what we can expect on a somewhat "down" year, this isn't bad.

    Lets hope the Panthers make some noise. Congrats!

    At the start the season, I would have thought an NIT was a good achievement for this team, so congrats to the Panthers! I hope it is a great learning experience for the Panthers and helps them build for next season.

      Good point about this being a good result for a "down" year. This is a nice opportunity.

            Hopefully we can do something productive with it.

              After glancing at their resume, St. Josephs looks decent. They beat CU by 9 and A-10 winner Temple by 10.

              They don't look all that different from us. Inconsistent with great potential.

                Congrats to red birds they deserved this. Congrats to Iowa hope we meet in finals. Field looks tough whoever wins this this is going too have to bring their best game every night. I would love to see the panthers in Madison square garden.

                    Congrats to us - screw Iowa.

                    It would be fantastic to have back-to-back MVC NIT championships...

                      It's very interesting that we made the NIT with the exact same record that we had last year.

                        We now have had 4 20+ wins season in the row, which nobody in the Valley can claim.
