    does hinson get the axe if missouri state is not in the ncaas? i hope not, but he seems to be taking a lot of heat. i hope they get in, as he is a stand up guy, and of course we have to like ben miller on his staff.

    and yes, panthers are sadly on the outside looking in for the nit.

        The NIT selection folks are not faced with an "Iowa or UNI" situation. If UNI doesn't get in, it's not because of what happens with Iowa.

          Why is that? I guessing Iowa could be a last team pick......Why not UNI?

            Dags, the only way someone reasonably thinks it's a "UNI or Iowa" situation is if their whole world revolves around those two teams. It's just not that simple.

            IF UNI and Iowa had identical resumes (they do not) and were both considered to be "NIT bubble" teams (UNI seems to appear and disappear on that bubble at will) then I think you might have a point. That's not the reality.

            UNI's probably going to be home, because there are at least two more deserving MVC teams, the field is very limited, and a LOT of NCAA bubbles popped over the weekend, dropping those teams into an already limited NIT field...remember, every regular season league champion sitting at home for the NCAA's is a bid we can't have.

            Iowa is probably going to be in. Every Big Ten team with an equal or better league record then they (and one with a poorer record) is in the NCAA's, and SOMEBODY from the Big Ten is going to be in. They could be passed over for 8-8 Michigan, but most likely they'll both be in.

              Point Taken....I agree , but I think that UNI would have a chance for a at large bid in the NIT, if they just crank the numbers only

                    Tough way to end the season. Should have never left it in the hands of a committee.

                      Not surprising at all, unfortunately.

                          I think a lesson has been learned here (hopefully.) The committees are trying to argue you OUT, not argue you IN. That means you have to make your "points" for getting in unmistakable.

                          We gave neither committee any reason to include us, and PLENTY of reasons to leave argue us out.

                            Well our fate has finally been sealed. It's been a long, fun, frustrating, and yet still good season. I Garuntee this lights a fire under our asses for next year and we come out with a chip on our shoulder.

                            Thank you for all of the Memories Brooksy and Grant, you will be sorely missed.

                              The lesson learned is: don't lose 11 of your last 16.

                                there were a couple of snubs and some horrible seeding in the NIT. If you didnt catch the head of the NIT committee talk about things, he basically said they decide seeds by asking who would you rather play. That is terrible as Syracuse and Drexel deserved higher seeds.
