FARGO (AP) — The North Dakota State men’s basketball team missed out on the NCAA tournament and also the National Invitational Tournament, but the Bison are still getting some postseason action.

NDSU will play in the 16-team College Basketball Invitational for a second straight season. The Bison (24-9) play at Western Michigan (20-12) in the first round on Wednesday.

NDSU lost to South Dakota State in the championship game of the Summit League Tournament, falling one win short of reaching the NCAA tournament.

The University of North Dakota also gets to keep playing.

UND accepted an at-large bid to the 32-team CollegeInsider.com Tournament.

UND (16-16) is scheduled to play at Northern Iowa (18-14) in the first round tonight.

It will be the third straight CIT appearance for UND, which lost to Weber State in the semifinals of the Big Sky Conference Tournament.
