Light the tower orange.... right?

They'll light up the top of the tower.

Pretty cool that their final game is at MSG.  I guess the other route would have been a 1 and done in the NCAA tourney.

been a fun last few games. Shaka and Co. was able to put a run together against all odds. Pretty impressive even if its the NIT 

Lost me here, we played exactly one team with a higher seed than us and had home games all the way through to the final 4 lol

[Horn80 6109]

Have fun tonight team in NYC.

[dcar00 14060]

Shaka thanking Roach for smoking weed so he could win the NIT instead of getting bounced in the 1st round of the real tourney

[Bevojoe 44]

Under ! to play

[UTEX_ME 4758]

Sugar Bowl champions, CWS, and NIT champions.  Been a fun 365 days. Men's programs taken huge leaps since wandering the desert last 10 years.

[Braff Zacklin 13474]

Well done, Roach and Oset. Congrats on finishing your careers on a high note.

[VirginiaLonghorn 4759]

Great finish to a disappointing season. 

[Nueces River Rat 5533]

NIT champs Mofos!

T-shirts available at the Co-op in the morning?

FINAL 81 - 66 TEXAS

[Deej 76620]

Not quite the rush I felt after the '78 NIT championship.

[DaysOff 7911]

Maybe this is the turnaround! Shaka 2019/2020!

Negged

[Horn80 6109]

No, it’s not white boy day.

[phdhorn 6224]

Tower lighting... just the tip.

Good season finale boys, it's better to have lost then won than never to have won at all, or something incredibly poignant like that.

[kingkoopa6 8330]

noooo time for loooooserrr cause weeee are the chammmpions ! 

[perfectchaos007 6603]

When will Academy be selling NIT champ merch?

[Steamboat1874 4038]

Fuck you haters

[Js1 85161]

Did we win or is this a funeral? 

[Party_Taco 3689]

Banners are banners.

Cut down those nets, thank the seniors and take that sweet ‘mo into next year!

you had them winning this? 

[The_Great_Hornsby 3247]

Kids in Africa getting crunk for all the new Lipscomb shirts coming their way

[Machinator 32098]

They should have been in the real tournament.

But winning the NIT is better than winning nothing at all.

Agree

Making lemonade out of lemons.  

[Catdaddyhorn 3444]

So because of our run in the NIT Kerwin doesn’t get to complete in the college dunk competition.

I'm gonna go get one...

[NWAustinDude 2252]

Happy for team that they won a post-season national tournament, finally found an identity, and they got to play at MSG. Would prefer not to call this a championship.

Abe Lemons?

[Nueces River Rat 5533]

The question has to be asked. Where in the hell were these guys during the later part of the regular season? If they had played two or three games we lost in the regular season with as much as intensity they played the last three, we would have been in the tourney.

Well, ESPN didn’ waste any time moving on.

[EZ$ 2102]

This was like winning the Texas Bowl against Mizzou. Going to propel us to a sweet 16 next year, then a final 4 the next!

[Nueces River Rat 5533]

Were # 65 were # 65!!

69. 68 teams go to the NCAA’s

[Deej 76620]

They should have the NIT champs play the NCAA Women's champs just for laughs. 

[NowThis 931]

good to see them play so well without Hayes, although Texas played better @ MSg than the  2 close ones @ FEC .   

Thanks Roach, best Horn dunker of all time. Enjoyed your show ma brah.

gdangit, is it too much to ask for that type of effort every night?  They actually embodied a havoc style(full of energy) on offense and defense in the NIT.  Why the effort now?  

Glad they won.  Maybe they can bottle some of it for next year.  Lipstick on a pig of a year.

Well one was suspended and I am not sure why they finally found an in game identity, but I will not argue that this team had the talent to play and win games in the NCAA tournament
