Drake got screwed - absolutely belong in the NIT (or NCAA).
Yeah, Missouri State has better metrics but Drake beat them on Saturday in St. Louis and took Loyola to the wire. Plus, Drake benefits more from a postseason trip than Missouri State. Guessing that's why they chose to go CBI.
In the NIT tonight...
MoState leads at Oklahoma 19-18 at the 12-minute timeout
Belmont leads Vanderbilt 24-12 at the 12-minute timeout
Mosley with 22 at halftime but Oklahoma leads 47-41 at halftime.
Belmont down 1 at halftime at Vandy
Oklahoma wins 89-72. Mosley with 28 points. Prim only 8 rebounds.
Belmont also out, losing by 11 at Vandy

I'm not surprised by Missouri State as they had no chance of winning that game from the start. Oklahoma (Moser) has a good chance to make it to the "Final 4" in the NIT.
I am surprised, however, that Belmont lost.
Sadly, neither was a good game.
I really hope Northern Iowa takes out Saint Louis tonight, would have been nice if siu was playing this game , maybe next year, or another 15 years, who knows anymore. I'd be happy if the Salukis made the NIT tournament next year can't believe I just said that🤔
First "big" name in the Valley to hit the portal is Bradley's Jayson Kent

Oklahoma is the overall #1 seed in the NIT. They have been playing well lately. Beat #1 seed and 4th ranked Baylor. Came within 1 pt of #3 seed and 12th ranked Texas Tech.
No surprise they beat Missouri State.
Have to root for UNI.
Was reported a few weeks ago but Indiana State's Tyreke Key is now in the transfer portal:

Mods....is it worth starting a transfer thread for these? I imagine this won't be the last of them and will become increasingly difficult to find the info if they are scattered throughout a thread like this.

Go ahead have at it. Seems like a good idea
UNI up 11 early at Saint Louis in their NIT game. Winner would get BYU or Long Beach State
Northern Iowa on a 17-0 run and up 21 with 7:30 left at Saint Louis. Berhow has 6 threes
UNI wins 80-68. Panthers shoot 16-37 from 3 and get 21 from AJ Green
