Iona RPI 59 travels to conference USA Louisiana Tech Bulldogs ( RPI 62) for NIT game. That's what happens when you have a program that doesn't draw flies

It is bs ... they make Iona travel to Louisiana (no easy way to get to La Tech) and Georgia St (the 6 seed in the St Johns bracket) goes to South Carolina.
they got screwed.

It's a solid 4 plus hours away from New Orleans. Probably closer to Dallas then New Orleans.

Siena and Manhattan are the MAAC teams with NCAA success.
Heck, Canisius even went to the NIT final four in 1995 (they year after we did). Marist won at Oklahoma State with Jared Jordan. Iona's only postseason wins since the 1980's were in the CIT 3 years ago.
