If NAU can get by the Z's, might be able to catch the Kalm's at the right moment

Weber has no shot at the NIT. Eastern will get the NIT auto if they don't the win the tournament, but that's the only way we'll see a Big Sky team in the NIT this year.

Good to see the Hornets avoid the first round. I like our Weber draw, we lost both games but either one could have gone our way. If we can scratch by Weebs, we match up with MSU well too. We'll see if the Hornets can show up in Boise.

Oakland Fort hits a 30-something footer to beat EWU at the buzzer.
Eastern tied the Big Sky record for consecutive wins, then finished with 3 straight losses (will likely be 4 after the NIT).

Given how many last second losses NAU has had this season, karma was in our Favor.
