a final four and a sweet 16 to his credit.  Wake Forest has to be drooling...

[ClubWhatever 12144]

Those 800 fans can go home with their chest puffed out big

[Js1 85342]

That was some HOT nit action 

[markstanco 12577]

With a quick google, south Dakota state has 10,896 students and is located in a town called Brookings.

And they hung tight with a Shaka led university of Texas that has over 10,896 students. And the game was in austin.

I didnt Google their 247 class ranking. But my guess is it wasnt close to shakas class. Only guessing, somebody else can correct me if I'm wrong.

Enrollment doesn't have much to do with it when Gonzaga doesn't even have 10,000 students.

But I can assure you that not a single one of their recruits would have been considered "Texas good" out of high school.

DO had his one shining moment.

How does Kenpom feel about this?

[texaslong 678]

Will the team celebration tonight lead to Roach being suspended for violating team rules again?

[El Squared 1802]

I think I missed the net cutting ceremony, maybe catch in on the replay.

Nothing will stop this team on its quest to be #69!**

 

(**yeah yeah I know a buncha teams at the real senior prom are worse, but we have to play for something!).

[HookEm 2467]

Awesome shot of the 50 people in attendance.

Truth. Duke with basketball, miami over the years with football, etc. But your 2nd paragraph was sort of my point. As well as their location.

[Guest Lobo]

For serious though, when is the next game ?

Thursday, I think.

Edit: actually, probably not, since the Xavier game is tomorrow.

Brian Davis.....  WHO’S NEXT?

"Texas will meet the winner of the Xavier-Toledo game, which is scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday in Cincinnati. The NIT has not schedule the exact date and time, however UT officials think it will be either Saturday or Sunday. Since Texas is the higher seed in the NIT bracket, the Horns are likely to host."

[SA-KC_Horn 1295]

Damn Shaka!

[ausjala 101]

Nailbiter . . . had to have saved Shaka's job.

What a worthless clusterfuck of a tournament.

 

I mean ... one down, four more to go!! Let's keep this Shaka Train rollin'! Woo woo!

Who won?  Did anyone watch or at least hear the results?

Yeah, it was pretty ugly. Offensive strategy seemed to be relying on shooting 3s, sloppy ball handling too.

79-73 Texas.

I went from attending 80% or more of our home games for more than 25 years to canceling my season tickets after Shaka's second season. I haven't been to a game in years. I'll be there tonight, row two across form the UT bench, using my incredible mentalist powers to convince Shaka that he really doesn't want to work here anymore. The entire goal is to have Shaka's inner monologue saying this to him by the end of the night.

oh yeah for real, if you didn't click on that link you need to do so. one of the absolute funniest things i've ever seen. most of you are already probably familiar with it, and it's always worth a watch. i don't want to spoil it for you though. just click it already ya jabroni.

I will laugh if the majority were bought by SDSU

SDSU fans made up ~12-15% of the crowd and they were loud and excited. the ones shot were there made their presence known.

[Js1 85342]

I just assumed CDC gave everyone in Bellmont 5 free tickets each to get butts in seats.

We will get to add a year to the NIT participation ribbon like banner....     That's fricken awesome!  

If win the whole thing, maybe a separate banner?   Do the players get NIT champs rings too?

Sad times bro.... Sad times.

[Steamboat1874 4066]

I fell asleep watching this abortion and woke up to see the final minute or so.

Amazing how many of our possessions in this game where the ball never went inside the 3-point line.

Feel bad for the poor fools at the Disch who missed out on a great post-season win in favor of watching one of our mid-week starters get shelled.

Security, ushers, custodians, concession workers, and refs can be fans, too.

[gecko 1104]

Nobody cares about the NIT until you get to the championship at MSG.  They then only care because its 2 teams you might have actually heard of or its a match-up that might be mildly interesting.  Emphasis on the word "might"

Well what if there was free booze and hookers in that limo ride?

that's what my dad and i kept commenting on. how many possessions where everyone just stood on one spot, and then Ramey would just pass it back and forth a couple of times until one of hem eventually hoisted up a three. and then even while the ball was in the air *nobody* would move from his spot to go for a rebound! we commented early on, "Wow, this team (SDSU) cannot rebound, they are only getting one shot every time down the floor", only to look up later and see that they were out-rebounding us 34-28. Unreal.
