Interesting how the two teams that got kicked out of the sbc played in their conference tournament championship games in their 2nd year in their new conferences.

Plenty of time left, but I assume they will lose to Grand Canyon. Maybe they will join us in the CBI or CIT.

I've kept up with both UTA and LR the last two years (same with the SoCon) due to familiarity. I was pulling for y'all both.

Thanks Yosef. You guys have had a great year. I believed you were a lock for the NIT based on your NET (72). However, with teams like LSU (94) and Georgia (100) getting automatic bids I have no idea what will happen. Those are just 2 examples of "bad" teams getting in from the SEC. I haven't studied what the NET rankings are for the other 10 teams who will get automatic bids. I would bet several of them will have NET rankings lower than 72. So not only are they not automatically taking mid-major conference champions (like AppSt and LR), they are making it harder for them to qualify as at-large teams. I still think you guys get in, but you'll have to sweat it out.

Maybe can have the "Sun Belt Alumni" regional of CIT in Jonesboro with LR, UTA, and LaTech.
