How many sec teams will the nit take?

[msstate7]

Bama, LSU, us, South Carolina, and Georgia are all battling to get in. Will the nit take 5 sec teams? Are we a loss away from potentially losing our spot?

No. Just a loss away from not hosting.

Hope you are right. I’m not sure it as certain. In 2017, 17 of the 32 nit teams were mid majors. In 2016, 23 of the 32 nit teams were mid majors. I think we need to win a game to lock it up

We went 4-2 against those teams in question. State will get in over South Carolina and Georgia. At this point Alabama appears to be a NCAA Tournament team but I suppose they could drop to the NIT. I remember one year recently there were a lot of SEC Teams in the NIT. Which got our reputation as a NIT League.

Losing 3 in a row would suck. But beating A&M clinched the NIT for us. We're not dropping from a #1 NIT seed to out of the NIT like that. The lowest I could see us in is a #5 seed. But I bet State is a #3 seed.

Aren't there 8 projected NCAA Teams? And 5 NIT teams you say? A 12 team postseason league? That's deep.
