27.6 left UNI still leads 58-56. Drake missed a shot and had 1 blocked. UNI ball

Lohaus has 25 but had missed his last 2 shots barely

Shot clock violation gives Drake the ball with 10 seconds left. Thomas knocked the ball out of Lohaus’s hands and didn’t seem like he got possession of it and UNI Picked it up under the Drake basket when time expired

Uni wins in a wild ending 60-58

Drake & Loyola should get NIT bids since they won the MVC regular season

Drake & Loyola should get NIT bids since they won the MVC regular season

Drake will not get an NIT bid unfortunately. The NIT awards a maximum of 1 automatic bid per conference. Here is their rule-

Any regular-season champion of an NCAA Division I conference (as determined by the conference's tie-break protocol) not otherwise selected to the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship will secure an automatic qualification into the NIT. The committee will then select the best available teams to fill the 32-team NIT field.

So Loyola gets the NIT bid.

they could appeal but from what we've already seen - they wouldn't have a leg to stand on
