Vanderbilt fans -- Tune in to ESPNU tonight at 8 p.m. CT for the NIT Selection Show to see if the Commodores make the NIT field of 32. And of course, follow the latest men's basketball news on VUcommodores.com.
There were SEVEN teams selected for the NIT with records below Vanderbilt's, and several that are in the category 'iffy." Twenty-two of the 32 teams had 20 or more wins (VU had 19)Plus, I notice that Kentucky gets a bid and #4 seed in their division. It appears that the NIT is taking the direction of the NCAA when it comes time to make selections and seeding positions. But, then again, how many of the "selected" teams can boast about players earning their degrees. (The NBA lies in the weeds!)
