Still pumped about the 'Nova game Saturday...they will still technically be #1!!!
If MU wins against G-town and Butler and loses to Villanova and splits a pair of games in the BET (say SHU and PC), MU's projected RPI would be 86. I would say that would get them in to the NIT. 2 BET wins would ensure an NIT bid.
