NIT results

How did Oklahoma State get into the NIT with a losing record?

Almost like the NCAA just wants to load the tournament with PC teams! INCONCEIVABLE! ;)

NCAA, the group we love to hate. I might like politicians more than the NCAA, but I repeat myself.
 
Chattanooga won the 2025 NIT last night, beating UC-Irvine 86-85 in overtime.
Box score- https://www.ncaa.com/game/6444742/boxscore

It was a great game to watch; quite a few lead changes, great play on both sides, and a couple unusual foul calls at the end of regulation, both on three point attempts. Chattanooga made a couple more clutch shots late in the game to come back and tie, then to pull ahead and win in overtime.

The stands at Hinkle Fieldhouse appeared mostly empty. The attendance was reported as 2,825. Capacity at Hinkle is 9,100.
That has to be one of the lowest attendance numbers for an NIT Championship game ever.
Attendance for the semifinal double-header on Tuesday was 3,288.

I couldn't watch because our loss still burns.
 
UC Irvine missed too many free throws. Ultimately it cost them the game, combined with that missed shot at the end.

Still kind of pains me that we lost to Chattanooga after being up so much. With a full roster I think we beat them quite easily, and likely go on to win the NIT. Sure it isn't the NCAA tournament, but I think winning the NIT would be more fun than a first round NCAA tournament loss.

For those who haven't seen it, here is the final play. - https://video.twimg.com/amplify_vid.../vid/avc1/888x490/omrxvo5PbAWwivDQ.mp4?tag=14

Chattanooga had scored to go ahead by one point with 2.4 seconds left in the overtime.
UC-Irvine ran a play with a long pass into the front court, then a second pass to a player under the basket for a wide open layup. But the UCI player muffed the open layup, and time ran out. Chattanooga did a poor job of defending that final play. A really tough way for UCI to lose the championship.
