NIT-ologytaking a look at the other side of the postseason bubble
[NITOLOGY.COM]
January 17, 2012 Quite a bit of movement amongst the tournaments as we have two new NCAA squads and six NIT newcomers. It's amazing how weak the NCAA field projects to be right now -- I had to search really, really hard to find teams 67 and 68 (NC State and Northwestern for the time being). The door is wide open for pretty much anyone in the NIT and beyond to make a run at an NCAA at large bid this year.
