[NU Sports] Turns out...

An analysis of the brackets suggest we were two wins away from
making the field, which is what some folks were saying 
two weeks ago.  Good call!

There are only two teams with fewer than 20 wins in the field,
and one of them (Western Kentucky) is an AQ, having won the Sun
Belt conference tournament.  Someone else will have to explain
why West Virginia is in.  

BTW, there's a tweet on a WSJ sports web page right now with
someone picking Northwestern to win the NIT.
