Yeah they should have been in the tourney.
People don't realize all these teams are crap just cause they had a buzz beater loss, ok record, some wins, don't mean they belong.
Saint Mary's another loser that was hoping to get in.
The tourney is already full of bad teams, no one should be crying that they did not get in, you suck anyway, win a game at least.
K13 this happens a lot. A bubble team feels slighted by the committee and gets banished to the NIT. They could care less about the NIT and play like shit. Doesn't mean they would've lost 1st game in the big tourney. Harvard >VCU
The question is, how did Harvard warrant a #6 seed in the NIT. This game actually should have been Harvard #3...Okie St #6, and should have been played on Harvard's homecourt. Would have made a big difference.
