USC in, Sry out, so ESPN was wrong.

Northwestern an 8! Last team for a power conference to finally make it.

Illinois State a 1 seed in the NIT. :/ Illinois a 2 seed. Southern Il won the NIT in 1967.

Explain the play-in games to me, why aren’t they all for 16 seeds? 2 are for 11 seeds.

the last 4 at large bids tend to be 11 seeds becuz they are better than the automatic bids from the 2nd tier conferences.

since there was always dispute about who should be the final 2 at large teams, they made play in games to settle the last 2 spots.

point spreads are up
Vegas thinks
Creighton does not deserve a 6 seed (giving Oregon an easier route)
Minnesota does not deserve a FIVE (giving Butler an easier road)
Wisconsin should be seeded better (giving NOVA a tougher road)
Wichita St should be seeded better (giving KY a tougher road)
