It doesn’t bode well for the SEC, unhappy with the fact that only three of its teams reached with the NCAA tournament, that its NIT entries are down to one team with a shot to reach Madison Square Garden.
Kentucky, an NIT 4 seed, plays at Notre Dame tonight for the right to advance to New York.
Florida and Auburn, both NIT 1 seeds, lost on their home floors in the go game last night.
I did think two of the SEC’s NCAA entries, MSU and LSU, got jobbed in the seeding a little bit, but the lack of sustained NIT runs from Florida and Auburn doesn’t cry out injustice over the NCAA situation.

Thanks Birdz. Fingers ahead of brain. Only two got jobbed on the seeding. Tennessee was where it needed to be.
