    Next year has nothing to do with whether UW makes the tourney or NIT. There are no great track records of NIT success being a precursor to winning in the future.
    Truth. Wichita State is the closest I can find. They won the NIT, made the NCAA first round the next year and made the final four the year after that with three starters from the NIT title team. Everyone else kinda sucks.

    But that's not because they won the NIT. It's because they had a really good coach that kept them improving. We'll see if Hop is that guy as well.

    And a few non-bubble teams will steal bids by winning their conference tourneys (MWC, A10, CUSA).


    Here's how it is today;

    32 Automatic Bids
    36 At Large Spots

    44 teams that are safely in, based on current projections;

    8--ACC (UVA, Duke, UNC, Clemson, Miami, VT, NC State, FSU)
    7--Big 12 (Kansas, TTech, WVA, TCU, OU, Kstate, Texas). Don't agree with Texas as safel in but Vegas has them as -300 right now, so...
    6--Big East (Nova, Xavier, Butler, Creighton, Seton Hall, Providence)
    4--Big Ten (Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Purdue)
    3--Pac 12 (Arizona, USC, UCLA)
    7--SEC (Auburn, TN, Ark, UK, UF, AtM, Mizzou)
    3--American (Cincy, Wichita, Houston)
    2--WCC (Gonzaga, St Marys)
    2--A10 (Rhode Island, St Bonaventure)
    1--CUSA (MTSU)
    1--MWC (Nevada)

    Now, assuming (which is a big assumption) that all of the above conference tourneys are won by teams listed here, that leaves 3 (44 minus the 11 conferences above=33, and there are 36 at larges total) bids for the following teams;

    Louisville, Cuse, ND, Baylor, Marquette, Nebraska, Penn State, Utah, ASU, UW, Alabama.

    UW is definitely towards the bottom of that list. They'd have to hope most of the teams in front of them lose in the 1st round of their conference tourney, while also hoping that Nevada, MTSU, and RIU/ST Bon are all able to win their conference tourneys so the bubble doesn't shrink to 2 teams, 1 team, or even 0.

    It's not going to happen.


    UVA beat Louisville, there’s a chance

    I'm sure ASU can figure out how to lose to colorado and play their way out of the tournament.

    Not the same committee as the NCAA, so not really.
