Stanford to host BYU on Wednesday in 1st round of NIT
Once Stanford lost to UCLA in the Pac-12 tournament quarterfinals, head coach Jerod Haase knew the Cardinal’s thin hopes for an NCAA Tournament bid were dashed.
The Cardinal are not done, though. And they’ll get to host another game at Maples Pavilion, where they’ll play BYU at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament.
If the Cardinal (18-15) beat the Cougars (24-10), they’ll play the winner of Tuesday night’s game between Oklahoma State (19-14) and Florida Gulf Coast (23-11). Oklahoma State would host the second-round game if it wins, but the site if Florida Gulf Coast prevails is uncertain.
Haase is just happy his team is still playing.
