* Oakland (24-8): The Golden Grizzlies fizzled again in the Horizon League tournament, costing Greg Kampe and Co. their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2011, in a year where it was there for the taking -- especially with Valpo without Alec Peters. As regular-season champion, though, Oakland will get its first-ever NIT bid, but hosting a first-round game looks like a long shot.
* Detroit Mercy (8-23): The Titans took a step back in Bacari Alexander's first year as head coach, at least in terms of the win-loss column. Still, athletic director Robert Vowels told The Detroit News he has the "right guy" in place, and there was definite improvement as the season went on. With lots of returning talent, a good recruit class should get UDM in the postseason next year.

WOMEN
...
* Oakland (18-12): Despite an opening loss in the Horizon League tournament, Jeff Tungate's team is likely to earn a second-tier postseason bid. It'll likely carry on without Hannah Little, who played in the Horizon with a break hand, but shouldn't risk it anymore.
* Detroit Mercy (18-14): A surprise appearance in the Horizon League championship game boosted the Titans' profile in coach Bernard Scott's second season, and he was hopeful the WNIT might give Detroit Mercy a look after its loss to No. 1 Green Bay in the final.
