The Titans, however, did not receive a bid to the 1994 NCAA tournament, because with Dayton and Duquesne leaving the league before the season, they did not have enough members that had continuous membership in the conference for the preceding five years.[2] They regained their automatic bid the following year,[3] when seven new members joined the league.
