1.  This NIT championship run was impressive - 5 Ws in a row against middling to pretty good competition.

2.  Stanford is probably the 35th best team in the country - somewhere around there.  65 or 69 is ridiculously low, even if said in snark/jest.  And btw, that is true every year for the NIT Champion.

3.  Saying that Miami would have won but for injuries does not do justice to how banged up Stanford was, too.  Humphreys was a stud earlier in the season, and Rosco was a very reliable player.  Then they got hurt and only recently earned (minimal) PT.  And they did not help much, frankly.  Long way of saying, I'm not buying the "but for injury" complaint from Miami fans (or anyone else).

4.  The team and staff should enjoy a well-earned championship in NYC.  Not bad.  Not too bad at all!
