Middle Tennessee played their way into a fantastic situation. They had a non tournament team (or at least a team that was outside the bubble) at home, and a virtual non-div1 team to play in their first CUSA game. They just had to win one of them. They won neither of them.
I'm almost certain that Saint Mary's had the chance to play Creighton, Nevada, and Rhode Island. They were approached by those schools. They said no to all of them. No one can hand pick their schedule, and it's a lot harder for some teams than others to schedule the way they need to to make a good case for themselves. But SMC simply chose not to. Again. I don't feel sorry for them.

Afterthought is understating it this week, but the NIT is actually really really good this year.

Yup, that's exactly what Rasmussen said. He said that they scheduled well and had opportunities, but they needed to capitalize on those opportunities. That's fair. If simply scheduling a tough non-conference was enough, then there are some low-majors who schedule a lot of tough buy games who would deserve a place.

Off season thought: KPI still seems the best at something.
Also, we should have gone a little further as a #1 seed. Crap.
