With Manhattan above us and Siena below us, these next 2 games will gives us a great idea of where we stand. I think we have a better chance of winning the Manhatten game because it is at home. A 1-1 would keep this train going..... but both games are winnable games.

Our win over UNC-W is big cause they will be in either NCAA or NIT. Yale's win was big, but they have faltered of late, but could make NCAA/NIT. We will need to beat both Siena and Manhatten at least once for the rest of the season...... in order to get more wins over the top Mid Majors.

In my opinion the only way to lock up an NIT birth is to go 20-8 on the season. That means lossing only three more games the rest of the way out, and that also means we need to beat either Manhatten or Siena at least once.

I agree, however, I'd just as soon win the MAAC tournament & lock up the NCAA bid. That way we don't have to rely on the internal politics of NIT selection.

I think that if they are able to finish first but lose in the tourney, they get an NIT bid, even if they only have 18-19 wins. They would be attractive because they would be a conference regular season champ. Plus the fact that three of their losses would be to top teams (Duke, St Johns, DePaul) would be helpful. A normal MAAC team who wins 18 but plays cream puffs would not have odds quite as good.

That being said, win the darn tourney so we don't even have to discuss this.

Don't forget the NIT is now a field of 40, more teams to get in
