| Pre-NIT discussion thread
So presuming the most likely outcome here after tonight's unfortunate loss, what seeding in the NIT are we most likely / expected to get? |

| I'll say a 3. That puts us top 12.

| It was going to be iffy with 2 wins. Having the bubble slots drop from 19 to 9 killed us today no matter the outcome. | |

| Bet we'll be playing a Valpo/Bucknell type automatic berth team in the first round in TBA. | |

| Looking forward to it. A couple of decent games is better than a frustrating NCAAT loss. Although I would have really liked to see us get a bid, just because that would be a major feat for this team.
