RE: ODU MBB Remaining Predictions

That is CUSA's history with NIT. very rarely does the NIT award CUSA with 2 or more bids. Plus our SOS will be woefully lacking following this string of +150 RPI games. Last year everyone was saying the same thing and my analysis showed differently. Our issue is the NIT is bound to take #2 conference regular season finishers and #1 if they don't go to the NCAA's. So for us a #2 finish in mandatory which will be hard with a loss to WKU already and we have to play them at home. Right now we have a 34% chance of winning that game.
So your saying we got a chance!
I don't have any data to back it up, but from my memory I fear what you are saying about NIT bids is true. But we all still have to play the games and WKU could still falter. Hopefully against us.
