Our worst loss last year was to a 134 (RPI) in state rival on the road. We lost a heartbreaker to 93 on the road. OUr other 5 losses were to top 50 teams. (all but 2 were tight until the end)

Its not hard to see that last years team was pretty darn good. Its deliberately obtuse to only focus on "how many good wins we had" when you have a seasons worth of data showing we pretty much blew out the bad teams and beat almost everyone we should have beaten and were very competitive against top 50 teams. Its clear the team was a borderline NCAA team (50-70ish range).

Borderline NCAA tournament teams make the NIT.

Unfortunately, that isn't true.

Middle Tennessee was a borderline NCAA team. WKU could make an argument but they weren't really.

ODU wasn't close to borderline.

We were projected by (I think) Joe Linardi as an NCAA tourney team close, if not up to the point when we lost to Western Kentucky and were projected as a NIT seed until a bunch of bid stealing happened on the last 2 days.

We had 0 top 100 wins when the committee was in session. 0. Marshall didn't crack the top 100 until the NCAA win. We were nowhere near the NCAAs. Not even in the same universe. They could have expanded the NCAAs to 128 teams and we probably wouldn't have made it.
