April 4, 20196 yr Didn't see a thread for this colossal showdown tonight at Madison Square Garden. I think an NIT Championship, even in this day and age, is an impressive feat for this team given the challenges they've faced this year on and off the court. Plus, you gotta root for them even if you're too cool for school, simply because it's fucking Lipscomb. Fucking Pat Boone went there. 3,000 kids who practice two hours less a week than we do because of mandatory chapel time. Although we are just 1-point favorites. So here's to the Longhorns bringing back some kinda hardware.
April 4, 20196 yr Wash away troubles, wash away my pain. With the reign of Shakabalah Wash away my sorrow, wash away my shame. With the reign of Shakablah Ah ooh, yeah, yeah yeah
April 4, 20196 yr I thought Lipscomb was a cosmetics brand. We got this. TCU was the real tourney championship.

April 4, 20196 yr I'll watch it if it doesn't interfere with my "Family Guy" reruns. Let's bring home that "Best Of The Meadokers" trophy (better to win it rather than lose it)!
April 4, 20196 yr I guess it's appropriate they used Kerwin for the final game day image of the season.

April 4, 20196 yr 40 minutes ago, ClubWhatever said: Do the 150 fans storm the court and cut down the nets if we win? And we're gonna give Shaka a life time extension. Not everyone can win the NIT ya know. Look at Calipari

April 4, 20196 yr Folks, we stand on the precipice of history. Tonight Shaka will achieve something that has only been achieved once in the entire proud history of Texas basketball.
April 4, 20196 yr Tonight is the night Texas joins the exclusive club of Big XII NIT Champions. What a night it's going to be!

April 4, 20196 yr Winning is going to feel like first place in the Special Olympics. Yeah, you won, but...

April 4, 20196 yr #69 in the country sounds about right for this team and this coach. I'm trying to care about this game, but it's not really working.
April 4, 20196 yr If you don't care about potentially hanging a banner tonight then maybe you should stop pretending to be a Texas basketball fan.
April 4, 20196 yr Just now, Fozzz said: If you don't care about potentially hanging a banner tonight then maybe you should stop pretending to be a Texas basketball fan. is there a NIT Runner Up banner possibility?
April 4, 20196 yr 1 minute ago, NowThis said: is there a NIT Runner Up banner possibility? A "We Tried" banner.
April 4, 20196 yr 6 minutes ago, NowThis said: is there a NIT Runner Up banner possibility? We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
April 4, 20196 yr 34 minutes ago, NowThis said: is there a NIT Runner Up banner possibility? What time does the third place game start?

Just saying don't be surprised if they win. They were the 1 seed in their conference and lost to 2 Liberty in the CCG who actually won their first round game over an SEC powerhouse.
April 4, 20196 yr UT will win. I personally think it would be damn cool for the Big XII, hell screw that, for the State of Texas to own both the NIT and the NCAA Championships.
April 4, 20196 yr Last stop for the Shaka Train! For Texas, it's NIT glory. For Lipscomb, it's ... well ...

April 4, 20196 yr Lipscomb locker room tonight: and David took a stone from his pouch and slung it at the Philistine. Amen. Let’s win this for all the little schools that never made it this far. It’ll probably work actually. But I have to say the young guys on this team have benefited from these five games. We came this far guys, the list of NIT champions the last 25 years is a decent list of programs. The runners up, not so much. Lipscomb can get their world changed some other time.
