C-USA 2 Auto Bids NIT

[Orange County Miner]

ODU with a #1 and LA Tech as conference champ....which means that one at-large bid to UTEP might make sense.

Why did ODU get an auto bid? Thought only regular season champs were automatic.

They didn't get an automatic bid.

Thanks. Wonder what Orange was talking about.

They got the #1 seed because they were first 4 out of the dance.

As of this year the first four left out by the NCAA selection committee receive automatic bids to the NIT (per NCAA announcement).

You're right. Didn't know about the change.
