In America East, the usual case is that one team is worthy to go to the NCAAs and that is the regular season champ. Vermont looks to be that team again this year, but if they lose the championship game they would be 25-7 and in the usual fashion, the NIT will pick some 14-14 club from the ACC, or...wait for it...the SEC... that went 5-11 in their conference instead. I don't have a problem with the conference tournaments except when a conference like this gets left out of both tournaments in favor of some big conference also-ran. Vermont did thump BC early this season, but if they lose, I don't think they will get selected. Happens all the time in this conference.

But no matter what, Billy Packer will be a jerk on the selection show.
