NIT Final Four Championship: Wichita State vs. Alabama
The Dallas Mavericks Try To Catch the LA Lakers in the Standings The Wichita State believed they should have made the NCAA Tournament. The Alabama Crimson Tide felt snubbed as well, and both teams used that snub to reach the Finals for the NIT. On Thursday night one team will emerge as champion.

The Shockers believe they had a body of work that deserved a shot at the NCAA Tournament. The coach sees two teams in the Final Four that Wichita State nearly beat, and then considers how well the Shockers have played to reach the NIT championship game.

The Missouri Valley often gets more than one team into the NCAA tournament, but a down year for the conference meant only Indiana State—the team that beat Wichita State in the league tournament—got in as an automatic qualifier. Wichita State was relegated to the NIT, where it has proven that it certainly belongs among the top 68 teams in the country.

Garrett Stutz had a career-high 24 points with 11 rebounds, Toure Murry added 13 points and the Shockers surpassed the 1954 team for the most wins in school history in impressive fashion. They’ll try to win one more against Alabama on Thursday night. If they play like they did against Washington State, they will easily roll the Tide, but Alabama looks extremely focused as well.

JaMychal Green scored 22 points, Trevor Releford scored the go-ahead basket in the closing seconds, and the top-seeded Crimson Tide withstood a late rally to beat fellow No. 1 seed Colorado 62-61 in the NIT semifinals Tuesday night.

Now both teams will lay it on the line to see who will emerge as the NIT Champions. The edge will go to the Crimson Tide as they have a better defensive game, but don’t be surprised if this game comes down to the waning seconds.
