    Not Invited to the Tournament. That's not actually what NIT stands for, but it might as well be for the UW hoops squad. They suffered the ignominy of being the first Pac-10/12 regular season champion left out of the Big Dance, and ended up instead as the top seed in the inconsequential NIT. Tonight, ... More >>
