As far as the NIT goes, there are a record 13 bids that will automatically be given to conference champions that didn't make the NCAAs (Green Bay, Louisiana Tech, Vermont, Iona, Belmont, Davidson, Georgia State, UC Irvine, Boston U, Robert Morris, Florida Gulf Coast, Utah Valley, High Point). And that doesn't even include SWAC champ Southern, who is ineligible. That leave 19 bids for the rest of the slags that didn't make the "real" tourney. Going by my data, that would be: SMU Florida State St. John's Utah Southern Miss Illinois Clemson Minnesota Maryland Missouri Arkansas Marquette Georgetown Cal West Virginia LSU Georgia Indiana Toledo
