"UW men’s basketball awaits NIT fate The Huskies (17-15) could see their six-year postseason streak come to an end if they don’t get an at-large berth to the NIT."
"They’ll discover their fate at 5:30 p.m. during the NIT Selection Show on ESPNU."
The NIT used to be as prestigious as the NCAA Tournament until the late 70s? I have no fucking idea why (paging @RaceBannon and @Tailgater )
From 1953-1974 the tournament field varied from 22-25 teams. In 1979 it was expanded to 40 teams. A lot of good teams were available to make a quality tournament back in those days
"During coach Lorenzo Romar’s 12-year tenure, the Huskies have failed to play in a postseason tournament three times following the 2002-03, 06-07 and 13-14 seasons."
Looks like OSU will be the team that the doogs say we were snubbed for. This is all dumb though, who wants to watch that pos tournament anyways? We're mediocre at basketball because we have a mediocre coach. Nothing more to see.
I kinda think SMU got screwed worse than when UW won the conference and didn't get in. I like how the committee claims they've stopped paying attn to "what have you done lately" but seems to really despise first round conference tournament losses. Goes to show why more than a few coaches have been vocal on why they don't like them.

What. A. JOKE
"Look y'all, we're the 101st best team and we only had to pay a $75,000 entry fee!"
If Romar was serious about post season play he would have had those boys ready.
HTH
