NIT Bracketology: Can WSU sneak into the field?
When the NIT bracket is revealed tonight at 6 p.m. PT, the Washington State Cougars and their fans are going to be on pins and needles to see if the team will be rewarded for its best season in a decade with its first postseason appearance since 2011.
The NIT selection show can be found on ESPNU or streamed on ESPN.com (with a cable subscription).
