Texas v. Lipscomb-THU, 6:00p-CDT


Recommended Posts

Posted

Didn't see a thread for this colossal showdown tonight at Madison Square Garden.  I think an NIT Championship, even in this day and age, is an impressive feat for this team given the challenges they've faced this year on and off the court.  Plus, you gotta root for them even if you're too cool for school, simply because it's fucking Lipscomb.  Fucking Pat Boone went there.  3,000 kids who practice two hours less a week than we do because of mandatory chapel time.  Although we are just 1-point favorites.

So here's to the Longhorns bringing back some kinda hardware.

Wash away troubles, wash away my pain.

With the reign of Shakabalah

Wash away my sorrow, wash away my shame.

With the reign of Shakablah 

Ah ooh, yeah, yeah yeah

I'll watch it if it doesn't interfere with my "Family Guy" reruns.

Let's bring home that "Best Of The Meadokers" trophy (better to win it rather than lose it)!

Do the 150 fans storm the court and cut down the nets if we win?

And we're gonna give Shaka a life time extension. Not everyone can win the NIT ya know. Look at Calipari

Kentucky fans will never live down that loss to Robert Morris.

I guess it's appropriate they used Kerwin for the final game day image of the season.

Because his dumb ass is (partially) why we aren't in the NCAAs because his ass can't stop smoking weed during the home stretch?

Mac, if I remember correctly, Kentucky had the #1 recruiting class that year and was preseason #1 as well.

Folks, we stand on the precipice of history.  Tonight Shaka will achieve something that has only been achieved once in the entire proud history of Texas basketball.

If you don't care about potentially hanging a banner tonight then maybe you should stop pretending to be a Texas basketball fan.

is there a NIT Runner Up banner possibility?

Lipscomb actually played and beat TCU by 9 this season.

That's why you schedule those difficult non conf opponents, to sharpen your skills in preparation for the NIT.

Just saying don't be surprised if they win. They were the 1 seed in their conference and lost to 2 Liberty in the CCG who actually won their first round game over an SEC powerhouse.

UT will win.

I personally think it would be damn cool for the Big XII, hell screw that, for the State of Texas to own both the NIT and the NCAA Championships.

Hell yes. We will raise that #69 banner high.

Lipscomb locker room tonight:

and David took a stone from his pouch and slung it at the Philistine.  Amen.  Let’s win this for all the little schools that never made it this far. 

It’ll probably work actually.  But I have to say the young guys on this team have benefited from these five games.  We came this far guys, the list of NIT champions the last 25 years is a decent list of programs.  The runners up, not so much.  Lipscomb can get their world changed some other time.
