At least it’s not the CBI, right?

Will we sneak in as a 2 seed? Will we square off against South Dakota St.? Stay tuned!

So freakin’ pumped I’m going to piss my pants.

Nothing else will be on Monday. Plus it's always fun to watch some 8 seed who is energized to be in beat a demoralized 1 seed in front of 3,000 people.

Obligatory there was a time when the NIT was the most prestigious college basketball post season tourney. We're going to be the school that brings it back to is rightful place.

And apparently the games don't start until Tuesday. I didnt pay enough attention in NIT 1401.

I think when the Hoopies won the shirts that were brought out spelled Virginia, as in West Virginia, Virgina.

Apples to turds.

When Lemmons coached Texas to this tournament win in the previous millennium, it was a legit  contender consolation prize. 

Today it’s a placenta of an abortion .

Back then, only 32 teams made NCAA Tourney, so the NIT had a much larger group of quality teams than today.

[El Squared 1813]

Mr. Rogers and all the participation awards fans loved the NIT...” if you had fun- you won!”

HERE WE GO!

Y'all don't need to break down this shit. Just announce the bracket.

[Vito Andolini 9132]

A fucking commercial break? No thanks,  turning the channel

[Continental Op 3934]

I did not know the NIT had this many teams in it. I'm going back to the Stars farting around or ladies curling.

[The_Great_Hornsby 3283]

I want to lose, please let us get blown the fuck out by a motivated team on our homecourt in front of 300 fans wearing paper bags over their heads.

Imagine if a ton of fans showed up with brown paper bags and Shaka is not our standard posters. That would send a message.

[phdhorn 6224]

Did we make the real NIT in NYC or some traveling version, say like one that's held in Elko, Nevada?  (What's the difference?)

We’ll just say the kids weren’t motivated.  They had thought they should have been a one seed in the CBI
