Unfortunately I don’t think it will. Look at ISU last year. Must win Arch Madness. The NIT is still a great accomplishment either way. If the Ramblers win out I think an 11 seed is possible.

Well our margin of victory is just a squinch under 10 ppg for 17 games !! Ilkeave it to FLEET for confirmation--CRIPES !! That is superb and aught to mean something--BUT !!!

Loyola could be a “last four” out and receive a #1 NIT seed. Of course I would prefer a 11 seed in the NCAA.

Also correct me if im wrong but as a conference champ if we end up in the NIT we would host round 1

There are four regional bracket pods with 8 teams each in the NIT. We would be a very high seed in one of the brackets, probably a 1 or 2 depending on how far we go at Arch Madness, probably no lower than a three in a worst case scenario. Seeds 1 through 4 get first round home games, then the higher seed gets home court until one team comes out of each bracket for a trip to New York. The seeding is based on RPI and a committee's determination, not on whether you won your league.

Here's the Wikipedia article on last year's NIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Nati ... Tournament

So what you're saying is that if the worse case scenario happens in the next week... we get an NIT home game?!?!? That's obviously not what I want...but it's a damn good worse case scenario.
