Sorry for the cynical headline; it was meant more tongue and cheek than as a true expression of cynicism..  I am happy we won it, and it was certainly an exciting game from the second half on, even if not necessarily the good-for-your-health kind of excitement.  The game seemed to be a microcosm of the season.  We started out very strong, building an 11 point halftime lead (just like we started the season strong, and seemed an almost-lock for the NCAA if we didn't collapse down the stretch).  Then we blew our lead, just as we withered down the stretch.  We still made it to overtime (just as we still made it to the post-season), and we won the game in the end (just as we won the NIT), even if we didn't look good and in fact looked bad doing so.  Still, an ugly win is a win, and the win made us NIT champs.  Not the tourney I wanted (especially mid-season), but I want us to win any tournament we are in, and we won. Congrats to the team.
