NITology has Michigan as a 2 seed
Was looking for an NIT predictor and found this. It was updated on sunday.
Current NITology has Michigan as the final 2 seed and the 8th overall seed in the NIT. Which means they are the 76th overall postseason seed. A 2 seed would guarantee them first and second round home games with a quarterfinals trip to a 1 seed unless the 1 seed gets knocked out earlier.
They would face a 7 in the first round. The current 7 seeds are Memphis, Rhode Island, Washington and Boise State. Rhode Island beat Nebraska in November.

Purdue is the #1 overall seed in the NIT according to this NITology and PSU is the 32nd and final seed. Meaning PSU would be the No. 100 postseason seed.

NITology is a thing? Seriously?

I was thinking the same thing. Is there also a CBI and CITology...

My thoughts exactly.

1 Purdue vs 8 PSU in the First Round.

I shudder at the idea of us being a "Top" NIT team, but I guess that's just how this year goes.

One thing I sort of wonder then is how many spaces would be open after the automatic bids to allow us even a shot in the NIT, assuming we are invited. Last year, I think nearly half the field was conference winners that did not get NCAA Tournament invites, so the margin for error for making the NIT might be fairly slim even now. It makes the next six games very interesting indeed, I think.

you're right, the number was pretty high last year --- it was an outlier in that regard.
I think Michigan would have to tank pretty hard to miss the NIT --- but when this link says someone like Penn ("you can't spell Nittany without NIT!!!") State is in the NIT, they really aren't particularly close (as of the moment).

Upside of the NIT would be a couple more home games after the B1G tournament. With Walton back by then, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see us win it too...and then feel sad about what could've been.

This is so disappointing to think about...

Don't we have to finish 500 to get in? I'm not convinced we'll do that.

You know you are having a bad year when you are worried about being on the bubble . . . the NIT bubble.
