I told you pre-season we would find our way to the NIT. Traditionally, he gets to where we need maybe one more win to give us that boost to break the bubble, and we lose that game. This year, we're a little down from that, but we'll still reach our NIT goal.
ETA: The only way AK could get us to within one game of a tourney bid this year would be to reach the finals and lose, so we may still do that just to stay with tradition.
