Kinda glad no NIU (barring another MACC meetup which would be ok 😀)

Which suggests we would be an at-large entry in the NCAAT but for all the auto-bids. I suppose we would have to rank in the mid-40s to be an actual at-large.

Looking at a mid-major poll like this, I would surmise that the top 8 to 10 would be worthy of talk of an at-large bid. We sit at 14. That said, "Win 3 in Cleveland"...
