When was last time MAC team was in NIT?

Don't know if this is right, but the basketball section of the fandom.com wiki lists -- name(#bids): last year, last win, last quarterfinal -- updated from school pages on Wikipedia

Toledo(9): 2019/2001/1943
Akron(7): 2017/2017/-
CMU(2): 2015/-/-
OhioU(5): 2013/1995/1969
Kent State(9): 2011/2011/2011
Bowling Green(14): 2009/1954/1954
MiamiU(6): 2006/1993/1993
WMU(3): 2005/2005/-
Buffalo(1): 2005/2005/-
Ball State(4): 2002/2002/2002
EMU(1): 1995/-/-

No current MAC school has ever won the NIT. I didn't list last Semifinal or Championship Game, since the most recent is 1949 and the others are during WWII.

But here's hoping that both Toledo and Buffalo update the last win year to 2021 (which in a 16 team field would also update the last quarterfinal appearance number).
