you only needed one win to get to the final 4:

NIT from that same year:

14 total teams in the postseason between those two tournaments.

How about that Eastern Intercollegiate Conference (Carnegie Mellon, Georgetown, Penn State, Pitt, West Virginia, Temple)? All the teams were between 6-4 and 4-6 in conference.

How does Mich st morph into tOSU in the second round??
