SAN MARCOS, Texas – For the first time in program history, Texas State men's basketball has been selected to the NIT as the Bobcats will face North Texas in the first round of college basketball's oldest postseason tournament.
The Bobcats earned a spot in the NIT after winning their second Sun Belt regular season title in as many seasons.
The No. 2 seeded Mean Green enter the tournament coming off a Conference USA regular season championship.
The postseason appearance for the Bobcats becomes their first under second-year head coach Terrence Johnson. The back-to-back Sun Belt Coach of the Year has led the Bobcats to 39 wins and a Sun Belt-best 24-6 conference record over the last two years.
