As evidenced by zero threads about our upcoming NIT game Tuesday, nobody cares. I'll start a thread anyways though.

Does the team give a shite?

How will the crowd be?

How good are the Fighting Larry Birds?

Can this tourney springboard us into the Big Dance next year?

I just realized that we redshirted the transfer Miles from WVU, totally forgot about him. Can he be a factor next year?

Will Dee Wagner ever get to play?

I care, just not a thread maker. Don't care which tournament they are in, not really but you understand what I'm saying, I get to watch more Hog Basketball. That's always a bonus.

Do you think Wagner can fill the Kiko void? I would hope so, I think he can hit open 3's and be a little sparkplug type guy

I think they're keeping him for APR and possibly to play a little. I mean, he was LA player of the year with 2 state titles

He could, he has looked good at times in games, he appears to be a good shooter and ball handler, he is quick, he seemed to play sound defense.

He could be one of those guys who finally gets a chance or starts contributing as an upper classmen.

I really do not see the staff forcing him out the door as he gets it done in the classroom, but I also would be surprised to see him want to transfer to another school for more playing time.

Yes, I care....

Yes, we will be in the NCAA tourney next year

Yes, there will be over 10 grand at the game... Or so I think...

CMA is starting to get his guys, his type of players in. We need to seal up the state for those upper echelon guys, and reach out of state for a couple more in the coming few seasons.. Me Dancing >

Y'all may actually win this tournament. Mizzou, on the other hand, will die in the first round.

I don't know, it would be nice for us and SMU to advance so we get to play at their place.

Win or lose it should pay off with the majority of the team returning as we play them there next year in the Non-con.

We will be a sweet 16 or better team next year.

I count it as a positive that we're in and it should help us going into next year. It is an improvement to be able to get into post-season play once again.

I would like for us to win at least a couple after the last two debacles. I would also really like to see the return of the team that beat Ole Miss and it would be nice to finish on a good note. And it should help that at least early on we're playing at home.

I thought we should've been a 2 seed at least.

Yeah, I'm still trying to understand the seeding of the NCAA tourney as well. How is Cuse a 3 and Mich st. is a four etc. etc.

I'm just excited that I get to watch us play another game. The stakes are lower, but at least one more game is better than no more games.

Robert Morris blew out St Johns.

High Point is giving Minnesota all they can handle with 10:00 in the first half.

Dunk City is in the game against Florida State, has had the lead for the majority of the second half.
