Kind of surprising, but not totally given the down year of the conference. 

[thedude15]

So looks like they picked San Diego over Fresno or SDSU? Doesn't make sense to me. 

[retrofade]

Meanwhile, they put 9/10 Big East teams into the NCAAT/NIT.

[PlayersinVegas]

They just need to schedule better 

[Eat_Your_Dried_Fruits]

Wow what a joke! San Diego was 7-9 in the WCC and you picked them over a 23-9 Fresno State team?

 

 

[retrofade]

Goddamned +++++ing joke... how the +++++ does San Diego, with a losing record in their conference and lower NET get a 6 seed while we're left out? A +++++ing joke.

[SangerBulldog]

bullshit but it is what it is. feel bad for the 3 seniors but this is what happens when you dont show up when you finally have some eyes on you. 

[aggzilla]

San Diego over Fresno, SDSU, San Francisco, and BYU??... seriously?

Honestly I wish it was a MW rule that conference members can only accept a bid to the NCAAT or NIT. Those other tourneys are a joke. They are literally just a school paying for extra practices/scrimmages. 

It worked out well for us. But we had a first year coach and it made sense playing as many games as we could.

I believe we also made 200 k and change.

MW won't be invited to CIT so that won't be an issue but i don't see an issue with CBI. Teams have used the tournament as a springboard for what happens the following year.

[TheDogSnake]

No MWC teams in the CBI either...wow!!

Honestly that is the only thing that makes sense to me.  They looked at our blowout vs USU and decided to take a team that played better at their conference tourney. 

Also probably helps they played NCAAT teams 8 times.  Sure then went 0-8 but 3 of there loses were close lol.  Plus they lost to 6 non tourney teams.

Fresno on the other hand a 1-4 vs tourney teams with a couple of close loses. And then 5 loses vs non tourney teams.

SDSU was 3-5 vs tourney teams and had 8 loses to non tourney teams. Sure the loss vs San Diego hurt them (or Fresno or however the last team left out of the NIT was). 

[thedude15]

Also glad I did not lay any money down on Fresno to win the NIT at 60-1 odds. I saw that on Wednesday and was figuring why not throw $50 down on it.  They reason I decided against it was cause I thought we a had a chance at the NCAAT (ie winning the MWT) not because I thought we would be left out of the NIT. Don't get me wrong our resume was not that impressive but I was still expecting a 6 seed in the NIT.
