Hope you do though. Thumbs up.

We will get in the NIT.

North Texas is 26-7 this year with a 39 .NET rating at the end of the regular season. We routed La Tech and played a fairly close (at the end at least) game against a strong UAB team. I doubt that rating drops much.

We were 25-7 last year and I think with a similar .NET. That got us a #2 seed in the NIT.

I guess it’s your perspective, UNT routed a La Tech that was without it’s 19 pts/game scorer (3rd leading scorer in CUSA). And in today's game, UAB control the whole game.

Does UNT deserve a NIT bid? Definitely. Will UNT win the NIT, seriously doubt it. But could win a game or two
