Building off of our Friday<\/a> and Saturday<\/a> updates, here's a third and most likely final look at potential College Basketball Invitational and College Insider Tournament teams.<\/p>\n NIT-ology<\/a> and The NIT Bracket Project<\/a> have not been updated for Sunday, March 14th, so some of the teams listed may be bumped up to the National Invitational Tournament's 32 school field.<\/p>\n While I'll be back after the NCAA Selection Show with news of Georgetown, Richmond and Cornell's destinations, I urge you to please follow the site on Twitter<\/a> for frequent postseason updates about the NIT, CBI and CIT all evening.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Tigers' RPI remains steady at 132 on Sunday.<\/p>\n Creighton<\/a>, George Mason<\/a> and Appalachian State<\/a> have all announced they'll host three of the CIT's eight home games next week. Marshall<\/a> has a conditional deal to play their first three CIT games at home if they don't get an NIT bid. A fifth CIT slot goes to the Great West tournament champion, South Dakota.<\/p>\n Northern Colorado<\/a> will host a CIT game. This article also says Loyola Marymount will host a CIT game, but I can not find confirmation of this elsewhere.<\/p>\n That leaves either nine or 10 slots. For whatever it is worth, the guesses on Mason Blog<\/a> for who George Mason will play in the CIT are \"Rider, Princeton, Buffalo, or maybe Duquesne.\"<\/p>\n Illinois State<\/a> expects a CBI or CIT bid if the NIT doesn't call.<\/p>\n Nevada<\/a> is another probable CIT team if the NIT overlooks them. I've added the Wolfpack above.<\/p>\n Missouri State<\/a> expects an invite from a tournament tonight.<\/p>\n Defending champion Oregon State<\/a> has a serious chance to defend their CBI title.<\/p>\n Seattle<\/a> is \"avidly pursuing\" a postseason bid.<\/p>\n Indiana State<\/a> feels positive about their chances of landing in the NIT, CBI or CIT.<\/p>\n Eastern Kentucky<\/a> is another school campaigning for the CBI and CIT.<\/p>\n Western Michigan<\/a> has postseason interest, but the money for a home game might not be there.<\/p>\n 11 teams are crossed off above. Washington State<\/a>, Nebraska<\/a>, Georgia<\/a> and Bradley<\/a> will almost certainly not accept postseason bids. Michigan<\/a> has no interest in playing outside of the NIT. Same with South Carolina<\/a>. <\/p>\n Western Kentucky<\/a> will only accept a NIT bid. Same for Wright State<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ohio won the MAC tournament in OT over Akron, giving them an NCAA auto bid. <\/p>\n Houston Baptist lost in the Great West tournament to South Dakota.<\/p>\n USC is ineligible for postseason play.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\nMarshall 20-9 (66) CIT home game<\/b>\r\nVCU 22-9 (67) \r\nNevada 19-12 (68)\r\nIllinois State 22-10 (76)\r\n
