It’s NIT time baby! Some questionable decisions in the NCAA bracket is the NIT’s gain, with the National Invitational Tournament getting national sweetheart Indiana State in their tournament.
There’s no doubt this is a mammoth disappointment for the Sycamores. Indiana State was first in the Missouri Valley this year on the back of spectacled center Robbie Avila, who became the most captivating player the school has had since Larry Bird.
The other schools to watch this year are the biggest stubs from the tournament, with Oklahoma, Seton Hall and Colorado State all set to prove they belonged in the big dance with a strong performance in the NIT.
St. John’s figured to be in this picture as well, but they elected to skip the tournament after being snubbed by the NCAA.
News: St. John’s has informed the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) selection committee that they won’t be participating.
