No research needed to know that Houston did make the NIT + UE defeated UC-Irvine in Anaheim.
Only three school names ahead of UE on your list would have better name recognition IMO and those are Temple, Stanford and K-State.
Additionally the Aces had some allure to the NIT with DJ and Mock so I stick with my premise of a win versus either UNI or WSU and they are in the NIT. Like I said before we all have opinions and ours differs on this.
A win versus UNI makes it appear more like UE was on equal footing with them - whereas three losses strongly made UE look like a bogus #2 team in the MVC to outsiders and I can't disagree with that perception. A win versus WSU well that likely puts UE into the Top 25 since they would have beaten WSU and no one should ever beat WSU unless the whole team is out sick (sarcasm )
