I'd almost rather play in the CIT or CBI again since it would allow us more home games to see Johnny play. But any postseason would be great with me, no matter how "low" it is. I have a feeling UNI can't be in worse shape than that limp to the finish line last season so I would hope they would be asked to play in something.
If UNI plays on Thursday, they will not get an NIT invite. They probably need to win on Friday at a minimum. The NCAA controls the NIT bids and will not hesitate to skip over a mid-major if the chance is there, not that UNI has given them any reason to do otherwise.
