The "other" tournaments

NIT. CBI. CIT.

Who cares, right? They are regarded as meaningless, but the teams in them would not have had any realistic chance at winning of the NCAA tournament, anyway. So, there is meaning, but just a different significance. For some teams, getting to go to any post-season is a big deal. For some hard-working seniors who never saw the bright lights of post season, it is a big deal. For some programs that are on the move in the right direction, it is a jump-start in the right direction. Different measuring stick, but perhaps very meaningful.
