What are the chances that our Ladies get a WNIT invite? I thinks it is looking good. Lots of ball to play but I am excited about the possibility.

My opinion, which doesn't count for much... I think we need to at least finish runner-up in the conference tournament. We are currently at #147 in the RPI, which is pretty high, but I don't think it's too high to be considered. It does mean the margin of error is thin. Our strength of schedule is really hurting us in that regard. I think I saw the other day it is #303. Ouch.
If we manage to win the conference, I think we are lock, regardless of RPI. There would definitely be a "sympathy" factor since we wouldn't be allowed to go to the NCAA tournament.
Do the CBI and CollegeInsider tournaments have women's versions? I honestly don't know. I would think we'll get a spot in one of those if somehow we miss on the WNIT.

Like I said, lots of games left, but J'ville and Stetson are both about .500 and the Hatters lost their best player for the rest of the season.

If that's the case I'm not sure how we don't get in. It would take several bad losses, but as you said, even then there aren't many other above-average teams in the conference.
