NIT-Ology: Projecting the Field of 32
The latest
2012 NIT-Ology
field as things stand after Monday's action. The field below is not who I
think deserves to be in, but simply a prediction of what the committee would do
as things stand today. NIT-Ology is released following CollegeHoops.net's
weekly NCAA
Tournament Bracketology update.
Notes on the NIT Field and NIT Bracketology: The NIT field is compose of 32 teams, including regular season champions that do not win their conference tournament. There is no way to predict how many regular season champions will lose their tournaments or which teams that might be. Thus, all that is listed here is the 24 most likely "at-large" teams.
For a statistical breakdown of NCAA Bubble teams, check out the weekly Bubble Watch.
Arrows
indicate teams that made a
major move since the previous week. New teams in green. Teams that are currently
winning their conference tournament (and thus projected to be in the NCAA field)
are not included.
