In response to palestra38
It depends on whether David Worlock and the NCAA is serious about bringing new metrics into the process. After a few years of seemingly increasing understanding of judging mid-major resumes (2013 being the high water mark with MTSU, Boise St., La Salle and St. Mary's being the First Four, while UK, UVA, Alabama and S. Miss were the top NIT seeds), the recent years have been an absolute bloodbath.
In the context of the latter, it would be nearly impossible for us to get a second bid. If they change the metrics that they look at, however, it would be far more difficult to keep a potential second Ivy team out. Now... do you actually believe that they are going to introduce metrics that are implicitly more favorable to mid majors... do you...? I obviously remain hopeful, but I wouldn't put a high probability on it.
