Both Regular Season Champs/#1 seed in their conference tourney lost in the semifinals
#1
CCSU (NEC) lost #6 Wagner
#1
Quinnipiac (MAAC) lost #5 St. Peter's
Due to the new NCAA rules this year, both teams are not provided an AQ for the NIT, as has been done for the last decade.
Not sure if QU gets invited/buys a spot in the CBI or CIT, but it's very unlikely CCSU gets/can afford that opportunity.
Shame what the NCAA has done to snub everyone outside of the P5. No national postseason opportunity whatsoever really kills programs like Central.
