A men’s college basketball coach blasted the NIT for rescinding its invitation to his program. “What they did to us last night is inexcusable!” South Alabama’s Richie Riley wrote Monday on social media.

However, UC Riverside got out of their commitment to the CBI and will indeed compete in the NIT. That caused the NIT to rescind their invite to South Alabama, who ended up getting their hopes up for nothing and will now see their season end prematurely.

The NCAA has some serious explaining to do after an embarrassing mistake involving the University of South Alabama Men's Basketball team.
