San Diego State disappointed from their NCAA tournament snub shifts focus to winning first NIT title.
San Diego State's (25-9, 16-2) impressive streak of consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances was snapped on Sunday afternoon, heading into the day they held the 8th longest in the nation at 6 ahead of even traditional powers such as North Carolina and Kentucky.
SDSU coaches, players, and fans had become accustomed to winning and playing at the biggest of stages that it is understandable that once the NIT came knocking on the door nobody reacted with a smile on their faces.
