The mighty Lipscomb dynasty has finally come to an end.

I'm happy we won something. Mostly happy we kept TCU from winning anything. And I'm sad that Shaka got retained after this shitty season for this consolation prize. It's like two consolation prizes.

Shaka's not getting retained because he won the fucking NIT.

That said, really happy for the team and a Special Olympics gold medal is a hell of a lot better than a participation certificate. Success is supposed to breed success so lets just hope it carries over.

 Bullshit. When is the parade?

Man the scene on campus must be absolutely insane right now.  Cops probably shut down the Drag.

He’ll be here for at least the next two years.

It looks just like it does when we win regular season football games.

Huh. Didn’t see that one... bought a much uglier one for my buddy as a joke and got a burnt orange one for myself so we could never be seen wearing the same fuggo shirt. Hooray team?

[Surly Bevo 24932]

The NIT Championship. Because it’s the championship Shakablah deserves but it’s not the one Shakablah needs right now.

[MrPhlegm 3413]

Twas a lot more fun in 78.

YAY! We're the best of the shitty teams!!

Well if you’re going to be in the JV tournament, you might as well win the whole fucking thing. Hopefully they can carry some momentum into next year. I want to care about this team. I really do. I miss caring about college basketball 

[Llano Estacado 1257]

Going to be a long day at the office. Should have scheduled PTO, rookie mistake. I was up to 9 maybe 9:30pm celebrating.

Like I always say, the day after the NIT championship should be a National Holiday.

[phdhorn 6224]

That giant sucking sound is Chris Beard passing Austin by.

[jkates 316]

If you're in it, be in it to win it. Good job by the boys.

Better than getting a B in remedial math. That is all I am saying.

And we have been getting a F in the normal math class for many years now.

Now, how many teams end the season with a “W”?

[Sbbruin 21856]

UCLA won the '85 NIT championship.  They hung a banner for I think one season next to the (then) 10 NC banners.  People demanded it come down, so it did.

This would be like the Patriots a decade or so from now hanging up a banner for winning the AFC East next to their 6 Super Bowl banners.

That's what it looked like.  My gparents had season tickets while I was still in HS and I went.  It looked comical.

Why wasn't UCLA in the CBI or NIT this year? Did they decline an invite?

We were one game over .500 in a shitful conference.  Not sure there was an invite.

I had an extra beer last night.  4 beers man, I'm beat today.

[Walden Ponderer 12639]

There are 31 other teams today that would love to be in the angst-filled position of wondering whether or not they should celebrate winning the NIT.

That doesn't change anything, of course, but it's fun to think about.

Post season tournament championships since 2010:

Kansas - 0
Texas - 1

Beats losing by 18 points in the first round as a 15 seed in the real tournament.... I think. 

[dcar00 14210]

I think about it this way.  there were probably 10 Barnes teams that could have won the NIT had they done the faceplant and ended up there.  

[Deej 76797]

Shaka's a genius. Win just enough to make the dance, get blown out in the first round, and probably get canned. Lose just enough to make the NIT, win the NIT, and live to lose another day.

He was for sure not going anywhere if he made the real tournament.

During the player interview at the end of the game one of the Texas players said  “We accomplished what we set out to do this season”.  Really?

Any Championship you win on a Thursday night HAS to suck.   There is no putting lipstick on this fucking pig.  None.

[Goo Punch 4275]

We won the Carabao Cup of basketball tournaments. Can't wait for the parade.

Not gonna lie, I had to Google it. And after perusing the Wiki page, I have come to the conclusion that we ought to go with one of the previous sponsors of the EFL championship -- we should proudly raise our 2019 Milk Marketing Board NIT Championship banner.

I mean we won the 2005 national championship on a Wednesday...

We played Bama in 2009 on a Thursday.

College baseball championships are middle of the week, too.
