There won't be too much coverage of the NIT around here, but it is worth noting that the conference put four teams in it. That tournament has 32 teams broken up into four groups of eight. Tennessee is a 1-seed in its regional, Ole Miss is a 2-seed in its regional, Mississippi State is a 4-seed in its regional, and LSU is a 6-seed in its regional. The four of them are all in different brackets, so they can't possibly face each other until the NIT semifinals in Madison Square Garden.
