NIT Bound

East Tennessee State qualified for this year's NIT, with a 92-67 blowout loss on their homecourt to Belmont in the finals of the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament.

For the second year, regular season conference champions automatically qualify for the NIT, if they do not go to the NCAA tournament. So, the Buccaneers become the first team to qualify for the NIT.

I'm sure they're really excited about that in Johnson City, Tennessee.
