NIT Round Two: Texas vs. Xavier, 3 PM, ESPN

[Machinator 32099]

[DaysOff 7951]

Honestly thought we were eliminated by Indiana. Maybe that was the chicks. Haven't watched a game all year because Shaka.

[Hanrahan 1306]

What’s a “nit”?

[Braff Zacklin 13618]

They make lice.

[miguelito 11266]

A nit is kind of like a cross between a grit and a ute.

[taybo20 2877]

Ugh

[Guest Lobo]

No, no---they're called Cheese Nits.  I believe the brand name is Cheez-Nit.  

FYI-if we win this game, we'll play winner of Colorado/Norfolk State (who knocked off #1 overall Alabama), on Wednesday (27 March)---here in Austin.  Very likely a primetime game.

My wife is a Xavier grad, and she's on her way down to Austin for the game right now. I decided to stay in Dallas and watch the baby. I had to choose between two shit shows, and I went with baby shit instead of Shaka shit. It's more enjoyable. (By the way, my wife is awesome. I think I fell in love with her when we were watching a Xavier game at a bar and she screamed "Fucking box out!!" so loud that the whole bar just stared at her.)

[Henry Hill 3156]

You know the rules

[smwhorn 482]

Anyone have the O/U number?

I mean for paid attendance.

[orangecat92 306]

I am guessing the O/U for attendance should be about 4000 official attendance, which includes about 1000 security, bodyguards, concession workers, janitors, ticket-takers, cheerleaders and others. 

 

 

 

 

[orangecat92 306]

...and don't forget the bands. 

[Machinator 32099]

The anticipation is palpable.

i remember this from 1990 BMW 

[Machinator 32099]

Two early fouls for Sims.

[CurlyDumps 4476]

Just flipped to the broadcast,  why is the arena closed to the public?

[CurlyDumps 4476]

Never mind, just spotted someone in the crowd.

Because the dreaded Shakablah plague is raging.

[Nueces River Rat 5539]

How many free tickets were given out?

I say 1700 in attendance including all support staff.

[Braff Zacklin 13618]

Good job by Oset to touch that, otherwise it's an easy scoop and score for Xavier.

O/U S/U/C/K/S

Surprisingly cogent, considering the source.

[GreenspointTexas 9648]

I dont even think anyone knows this game is even on

Blanks spewing BS

More likely, the excitement and intensity for this game is so great, people can't find the time/energy to post.

[Jeffrey 90]

Roach finding rhythm today.

[Braff Zacklin 13618]

Indeed, he seems to be having fun.

[Juke_Em 47]

The stars are aligning for a trip to NYC...do you get a banner for an NIT championship?

[GreenspointTexas 9648]

This team sucks asssss

[C-Man 27230]

This team sucks asssss

Awful basket to give up going to the half

[Braff Zacklin 13618]

Texas is the only team in the country that would've allowed a bucket in that situation.

Brilliant.

[C-Man 27230]

The clock should’ve run out after our missed 3-pointer. Terrible clock operator.

winner of this game gets winner of Colorado-Norfolk State. 

[TxTower 652]

Anyone going to hang around and watch them blow another halftime lead?

[Guest Lobo]

Well I'm watching us blow a 7-2 lead into B6 in Fort Worth for baseball, so yeah---I'm tuning into the NIT.  All I know is if you're letting the Longhorns hit 73% of their free throws at home, you're probably gonna lose to us.  So we got that going for us...which is nice.

That took less than 2 minutes to happen.

Tried watching the baseball game and ran back to this shit show.

The clock operator is the backup.  The packs the refs wear stop the clock, so I’m not sure why they didn’t go to the monitor for a timing error. 

[Guest Lobo]

What the fuck just happened to Longhorn sports in the last 20 minutes?  Da fuh?  Is there a liquor store open?

Not in Texas...... yes in Michigan

[Knoxtnhorn 6055]

Turned it on just in time to see DO miss a wide open layup.

[Jeffrey 90]

Ramsey and Roach hustling their asses off

[Pancho 44856]

Shade from the play-by-play announcer...

"There might be a lot of empty seats here....but there's an energy in this place."

If only they could hit their shots...,

Yes, blackholes are powerful I have heard.

[CurlyDumps 4476]

Did he say “I’d be remissed?”
