Big Sky--Who is going to the NIT

 Montana is going to the big dance, so is there going to be a post season for any of the Big Sky's other teams?

For Montana State, Northern Arizona, Portland State, Idaho State, Eastern Washington and Sacramento State it is time to begin dreaming of next year. 

The Bobcats are the only team out of these six over .500.  And the Bobcats failed in their chances to impress any selection committees.  They have losses to Nevada, San Francisco, Oregon, Memphis and San Jose State.  They have a win over UCSB, the Big West regular season champion.  But a loss in the conference tournament at home to Portland State as well as conference loses to Eastern Washington twice likely seal the fate for the Bobcats.  Montana State has two too many losses.

Weber State--Once again the Wildcats failed in a chance to make the NCAA at home when they blew a twenty point lead to Montana.  Selection committees tend to look at how well a team finishes.  In spite of 20 wins, losing two of your last three does not bode well.  But the Wildcats have a win against Utah, and played will in close losses to  BYU, Utah State, UCSB and UNLV.  Weber State will need to count on teams like Utah State winning their conference tournament games to keep the NIT field open.  Otherwise, I suspect you will see the Wildcats in CBIT.  The solid crowds at the Big Sky tourney can't hurt.

Northern Colorado--It helps to go 3-1 against a four-team NCAA conference like the Mountain West.  Trouble is that TCU, Air Force and Wyoming are the bottom three in that conference.  And the one loss was against the MWC's last place team.  The Bears, however, did beat Colorado State.  They also have wins against San Jose State and Denver.  And a one-point loss to Oklahoma helps, even if the Sooners had the unusual sub-par season.  A 24-7 record should put the Bears in the NIT.
