The correct answer is zero percent. VCU and St.Bon getting bids. Not sure about St.Louis probably didn't play enough games.
 
the Bonnies can take out Will Wade. But meanwhile we’re just watching on tv again...
 
NIT bracket release at 8:30 on ESPNU…who’s psyched!?
But did we make the NCAA bracket? :rolleyes:

Actually the NIT is suppose to be at 7:30 on the U but I guess that is Central (Texas) time?
 
Oops...6 refs sent home after they went out to dinner together upon arrival in Indy and then one tested positive.

 
Sounds like a silly question but do they have replacement refs? That’s 10% of the reffing pool gone right there. Although Ted Valentine being off duty for March madness certainly will help improve the accuracy of calls made
They had four replacements standing by that they’re bringing in.

I thought it might be Valentine, Ayers, and Luckie.
But I guess Luckie was...
 
All 68 NCAA teams have cleared testing protocols, so there will be no replacement teams needed from the NIT. If anybody has to bow out from this point on, their opponent just advances via no-contest. UVA won't be arriving in Indy until Friday afternoon.

I am super busy at work right now, so I decided to compile some more data.
I feel 22 wins by the start of the Selection Show is a good benchmark.
So I decided to see how A-10 teams looked against that benchmark from 2011-2012 to 2019-2020.

VCU 6 of 8 seasons
SLU 5 of 9 seasons
Dayton 5 of 9 seasons
URI 3 of 9 seasons (21 with no tourney in 2020)
Temple 2 of 2 seasons
Davidson 2 of 6 seasons
Butler 1 of 1 season

UMass 2 of 9 seasons
St Joe 2 of 9 seasons
GW 2 of 9 seasons
SBU 2 of 9 seasons

UR 1 of 9 seasons

Duquesne 0 of 9 seasons (21 with no tourney in 2020)
LaSalle 0 of 9 seasons (sweet sixteen with 21)
Xavier 0 of 2 seasons (1 NCAA)
Charlotte 0 of 2 seasons (21 win best)
GMU 0 of 7 seasons (20 win best)
Fordham 0 of 9 seasons (17 win best)

Everyone can decide for themselves what it means...

Colgate looked legit for a bit there, opening up a 14-point lead on the Razorbacks, but then gave up a 19–0 run spanning halftime. Not looking good for them at the moment.
 
Meanwhile Utah State, who averaged 13.6 turnovers per game, had 13 in the first half alone against Texas Tech
 
Loyola’s going to earn a shot at Illinois…nice.

And how about Oregon State…picked last in Pac 12 preseason, won the conference tourney, and now embarrassing Tennessee?
