Aztecs are in the NIT's according to several projections. UT story below:

Its either NIT's or bust for SDSU. Quote from the story:

We’re not going to play in anything other than the NIT if we get an opportunity, and it probably won’t happen,” coach Steve Fisher said early Saturday morning........

CBI and Las Vegas tournament select an additional 16 teams each but SDSU has declined those two options. Part of me thinks its a missed opportunity as high majority of the beneficiaries would be underclassmen that would get much needed playing time like............Narain? Trust and respect Coach Fisher's decision though.

Biggest enemy for SDSU at this point is post season tournament upsets for one bid leagues. Regular season champions that do not win their conference tournament get an automatic bid to the NIT. Belmont, Illinois State, Monmouth, Oakland, South Dakota, Texas-Arlington and UNC Greensboro are such teams.

ESPNU will host the NIT Selection show at 530pm PST.
