any word on a Lady Mustangs invite?

Was supposed to be released at 7:00pm today. Looks like they put up half the field, but not the others. They will probably show up soon. Houston got the automatic bid in C-USA. Here is the site to check:

Usually the results are published on the website around 10pm CST. There's no question we'll be invited - if you look at the teams that didn't get an invite to the NCAAs, we have the 17th best RPI. Surprisingly, a team with an RPI of 66 got invited to the NCAAs (an at-large bid) - our RPI is 69. I actually think three teams will be invited to the NIT out of C-USA - Houston (gets the automatic conference bid - RPI 95), East Carolina (RPI 83) and of course, SMU. For comparison purposes - Tulane's RPI is 41.

Two things I hope for -
1. We get an invite
2. We get to host a first-round game

Texas Tech will get an invite - I just hope they don't send us to Lubbock.

Tulane is a 12 seed

SMU at New Mexico this Wednesday 3/17. Quick turnaround for the ladies.

Tough place to play...good luck to the girls.
They should have a great team next year with the new recruits and injuries at a minimum.

Here's the full bracket. There are alot of schools in the NIT this year that traditionally are in the NCAA tourney. Tough field. The "Pit" at New Mexico is a tough place to play!
