Where will we wind up? Stats say CBI/CIT

Bucknell and North Florida lose early in their tourneys to lock up an NIT spot tonight.

I saw this on ESPN and thought it was interesting. Looks like it's Florida Gulf Coast vs Stetson in the A-Sun conference final. Since Stetson is ineligible for the tourney, if they win, North Florida would get the auto-bid.

Now, why they were allowed to play in the conference tourney puzzles me. I'm guessing it's a conference rule.

If I'm anyone else in that conference I'd be pissed. That would have to be one of the only times a team lost in the conference tournament...but got the only bid for the conference.

I have no idea what the Atlantic Sun is thinking allowing get Stetson to even play in their tournament, but I'll be a Hatter fan for at least a couple of hours this weekend (unless we will Arich Madness on Sunday!)

Let's make all of this projection stuff a moot point this weekend. I believe in this team right now - NIT is a consolation prize at this point for a good, not great, weekend.

The reason 20-13 is in play for the NIT is due to the A10, MWC, and Conference USA being down on bids. A10= 3 Dance 2 NIT, Conference USA, 1 Dance 1 NIT, and MWC 1 Dance 1 NIT.

Have to have 8 teams in your league tournament to award an auto-bid. They had to let Stetson play


They never could have anticipated this, Stetson was 10-21 coming in.
