Credit to Sampson, he might’ve been sketchy in he past, but he’s built the Cougars into a pretty damn good team.

I guess putting Syracuse in is easier than listening to Boeheim whine.

Buckeyes get a tough draw going out west in the 5/12 death matchup and then potentially facing 4 seed Gonzaga (#8 overall on KenPom). If they get through that, though, could get a pretty fun duel with Xavier.

Yeah, that's really rough.
MSU can't beat Duke, so that's as far as I'm taking them, but aside from that I can't complain, aside from MSU being a 2 seed by basically every metric except RPI.  I think Kansas is the weakest 1, and I struggle to buy into Auburn.

How the hell does a 19-13 Big Ten team not even make the NIT?

Maryland? Wasn't there an abundance of Regular season champs that filled those at large spots?

Nebraska fans sour about not hosting (NIT).   I'll admit, I truly do not care.   I am a total cliff's notes college basketball fan (as I age).  I'm glad to see Marquette taking their home game at the 'AL'  (an on campus gym where the women hoops and vball teams play). I assume they had no choice with a  likely Bradley Center conflict.

Trivial of course, but I have to think the NIT scheduling logistics are quite a challenge for whomever.

The selection committee forgot about them. It's hard to remember teams that don't play for over a week.

There were 12.
10 last year, 15 in 2016, 12 in 2015, 13 in 2014.
So it seems about average

Maybe the NIT has a wink-nod agreement with the CBA/CIT/etc to pass on all but a token Big Ten team, since they routinely big time the smaller tourneys.

I don't think any P5 conferences accept CIT/CBI invites

Didn't Illinois play in one of those things recently?

As far as I can tell, Colorado in 2015 is the only P5 school to play in either in the last 3 years.

EDIT: PSU, Oregon State and Texas A&M played in the CBI 4 years ago; Purdue and Texas did in 2013; Oregon State, Washington State and Pitt in 2012.

So it seems like until 2014, there were like 2 or 3 of the 16 in the CBS that were P5 schools (although never Illinois), but since then, it stopped.  The CIT is only for mid-majors I believe
