The selection happens tonight, I think on ESPNU.

Illinois, Mississippi State, Virginia Tech and Rhode Island the #1 seeds most likely.

Stony Brook, Jacksonville, Weber State, Coastal Carolina, Kent State, Quinnipiac, Jackson State and Troy are all automatic qualifiers.

That leaves 20 extra spots, I'll say:

Arizona State
Dayton
Miami
Memphis
UAB
Virginia Commonwealth
Mississippi
Connecticut
Seton Hall
Marshall
Cincinnati
Wichita State
St. Louis
Tulsa
Louisiana Tech
Morehead State
William & Mary
Western Carolina
South Florida
Northwestern

If Arizona doesn't make the NIT I am driving to Tuscon and laughing right in front of Sean Miller's face. Granted he now has a gate in front of his house so I will have to do it from there.

I'm not sure UNC will make it. 8 automatic qualifiers is a big number that cuts into the at-large teams. Carolina may get in on name recognition alone. I can see a few teams declining bids as well. I wouldn't be shocked if Mississippi State, Connecticut and UAB declined bids.

Carolina will be there because they are Carolina. Which just pisses me off. But Roy has already publicly said he will accept an invite if/when it comes their way

Its still a chance to get some game experience and get better. I don't think you can turn it down just because of who you are.

16-16.

It doesn't matter though. The NIT changed its rules recently to where a team doesn't have to be above .500 to make it.

That said, no team at or below .500 has made the NIT since the rule change.

Ok, I did not hear about that rule change. They should be in just for the simple fact that they will sell tickets and tv time.

That's probably what will get them in, but I don't even know if they deserve it. 16-16 is pretty awful. They may end up in the CBI.

if they're in the CBI they should just decline. The CBI is a rediculous waste of time

VIRGINIA TECH got a 1 seed over Rhode Island?

F you. My middle finger goes up to whoever made that decision. Typical bias.
