Barring an abrupt forfeiture of logic by the NCAA Selection Committee, Marquette (19-13) will be headed to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). It’s a disappointing end to the season for Golden Eagle fans, who were expecting another trip to March Madness.
The NIT isn’t nearly as exciting as the main tournament is; the teams aren’t as good and there’s no national championship at the end of the rainbow to case. Fans that don’t want to watch the NIT even if their favorite team is in it could hardly be blamed for thinking that way.
