NIT Bubble - There is still a very slight chance

[mobcat]

I don't think our odds are good, but there is still a very slight chance we make the NIT. A week ago I had fans on here getting belligerent with me because they thought we were a "Lock". I thought we needed to win one more game. We didn;t win any more games so I guess we will see how much of a lock we were. I don't think we are in, but there is a chance and since there is still a chance I will update what the bubble picture looks like. If we make it in - it will be in one of the last 4 at large spots. We would likely be a seven seed. As can be seen below the bottom edge of the NIT field is very ugly. Our quality wins and strong showing in conference could get us in, but it is all going to be dependent on what the selection committee is looking at.

On the bubble but likely in:
Central Michigan: RPI 67, 23-8, 2 Top 50 wins, 5 bad losses, T-1st in MAC
