Holy Cross defeats American in the Finals to earn the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. That hurts a little bit more, as we have never lost to Holy Cross.
But there is good news! The NIT tournament has issued us an invite, and we will be a #5 seed in that tournament. We will play the #4 seed, Depaul in the first round.
