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

I want us to win simply for the players who've given their college career to Texas to go out that way.

But hanging a banner? The "We Couldn't Get into the Real Tournament" banner? That's not something that will ever be one of my notable fan memories. Simply winning your first game in the NCAA tournament beats that hands down.

Completely understand the sardonic celebrations, but it's also true that if you're playing then you play to win. Congratulations to the team for stepping up and showing out instead of getting their as

I'm gonna be at the bar at the Round Rock Olive Garden all night celebrating this championship season. How many scotches will it take for this championship buzz to come down? I don't know. You do the

Warms my heart to see 5 star players who underachieved their entire careers get hot for 1 game and shit all over 2 star players who overachieved and worked their ass off to get to this game.

I'm too embarrassed to watch this game in front of my family. My wife's alma mater is in the final fuckin four -- the real one -- for the 4th time in 10 years and keeps asking how Texas is doing in our tournament. I had to explain a couple weeks ago what the NIT was to my 7 year old die hard Longhorn son and it felt like shit. Fuck Shaka man for making me explain the NIT.

Do you really think we won't raise a banner if we win tonight?  lol

lol you think the NCAA tournament is comprised of the 68 best college basketball teams? 

The mere fact that the NCAA takes 68 basketball teams means you're in some pretty mediocre territory at best trying to cobble together a tournament out of what's left.

I'll accept and support the players wanting to win. It's kind of pathetic, however, to treat raising the NIT banner as any kind of event.

Maybe you're right but how do you think your players will remember their time at Texas if they win the NIT and it's swept under the rug as if it never happened? They'll be alumni too.

All of the top traditional basketball powers do it

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.  

would love to see how Lipscomb matches up with us on:

-Staff salary

-overall budget

-facilities

-academic excellence and support

-location

-media coverage

-any other metric worth a flying fuck

 

 

lolololololol  embarrassing, but go Horns!

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.

AP Coach Of The Year both Men's and Women's are from Texas schools. Yay? er.. Whoop!
