Thrilled for our players to get this postseason tournament win.
Such a long time coming.
A testament to their perseverance and determination.
Also a credit to Coach who has done what he said he was going to do in pre-season, emphasize strong defense, ball possession, and shared full team unselfish play.
As/TO of 17/8 is good indication of that.
Magnificent Maxime has blossomed under this strategy.
Like in any tournament, once you get the first win, there is nothing you want more than to get the 2nd!

I wish I could get this excited about an NIT win.
Unfortunately, I can't.

Far better than not playing.  Nice for the team who became a pretty decent team after being picked for awful status.  Anything positive may make somebody thinking transferring, do it.

I was really excited about it. Certainly better than a loss. My two favorite teams won NIT first round games. SCU squeaked by UC Riverside, 101-62. They are on opposite sides of the bracket, so a mere three more wins each and they will face each other in the NIT championship game.

It could happen...

That's a very loud squeak... more of a deafening roar.
I'd love to see an all-NoCal final. Let the east coast media suck on that awhile.
But first we have to prepare for Kent St.
I'm sure Coach knows well that you overlook or take lightly any team in this tournament at great peril.
