As expected, the Oregon State Beavers did not receive an at-large bid for the 2019 NCAA Basketball tournament. The Beavs did have some hope, however, that they would be included in the NIT field after an 18-13 record to finish the season. This was not the case, as the 2019 NIT Tournament field was announced Sunday evening and the Beavers were not one of the teams named.
Here’s the full field:

OSU’s luck wasn’t any better with the even less prestigious CBI Tournament.

Considering the season started with such promise, it’s understandable to be a little disappointed by Oregon State not playing in somewhat high-prestige postseason tournament. Now, we have to answer for our overly optimistic cold takes...
