I see Josh Schertz (ISU) is back in with the Billikens. Good coach.

I wonder when the last time not a single Big East team was in the NIT.

 

[Halldan1]

Only Providence and SHU are not playing in the postseason.

Missed something where are the other 4 teams that didn’t make the Dance?

Well, it certainly comes with an asterisk

So this new tournament is below the NCAA’s but a notch above the NIT?

The Crown (and FOX) has commitments from the power conferences to send teams, so yeah.

The whole thing is terrible. Look at the records of the teams playing in it. It’s just another way for FOX to compete with ESPN. The Crown vs the NIT.

The top two teams that didn’t make the NCAAT from the B1G, B12 and BE are committed to participate in the Crown. The rest of the field is then invited.

Not sure if any money goes to the teams or the leagues.
