    I think of those 4 open spots, these teams have the best overall resumes:
    NC State
    Mississippi State
    LSU
    UNI

    Teams above that are bolded are in the top 5 of each other their categories (i.e.- top 5 in top 50 wins, SOS, top 100 R/N wins, and total R/N wins).

      I vote to have you added to the NIT committee.

        I said best resumes...not whose going to get in. Who knows what the NIT committee is going to do.

        One thing to watch for is that San Diego State might not have the numbers to make it. I thought they were a NIT lock, but I'm beginning to think that might not be the case anymore.

            I know....but if you were on the committee and you had 4 spots remaining, you would put the 4 teams with the best "overall resumes" into the tournament.

              Probably not. I was still holding out hope for a UNI vs. Depaul or Illinois first round matchup.

                  I still have a little faith, but I've got to admit it's going to be alot harder seeing as Drexel, Syracuse, MSU and Bradley were all left out of the tournament. I would say that all of them are Pretty much LOCKS for the NIT.

                  Anyone know when the NIT teams are announced?

                  Maybe this just isn't our year

                  Syracuse
                  Air Force
                  Missouri State
                  West Virginia
                  Drexel

                  Those are the teams left out of the NCAA's that are probably LOCKS for the NIT

                        I know this is the NITology post but Drexel got SCREWED. I'm sorry but with road wins @ Nova, Creighton and Syracuse they should be in. Now I don't find myself agreeing with Dick Vitale much, but this time I do.

                        I think Drexel getting left out is Bad for college basketball and it shows that depsite how legitimate a "Mid Major" team is (Drexel this year) they will get left out for two "Major" teams. (Arkansas and Stanford)

                        It just doesn't seem right or fair.

                          Sorry General, my vote goes to:

                          PURDOO-DOO and ILL-INOIS.

                          DISGUSTING.

                            Anybody have extra tickets for the CMH bracket?

                            Maybe I can try the Southern Illinois board?

                              Missouri State getting left out is bad for basketball. Texas Tech and Stanford got lucky, IMO. MoState should have been in before both. Better resume's...more wins...etc...

                              The Selection Committee told MSU last year, "go get a signature win"...they did this year. They had a top 40 RPI and a big win. They got screwed at SLU, and they got screwed today. I know that 'big wigs' had MSU out for a long time, but they had the best 'signature win' of the teams on the bubble. They only lost to 1 100+ team, and that was to Evansville (at E'ville), just 1 week after beating them by 52 points. It's rediculous, IMO.
