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.

    Completely understand the sardonic celebrations, but it's also true that if you're playing then you play to win. Congratulations to the team for stepping up and showing out instead of getting their as

    Warms my heart to see 5 star players who underachieved their entire careers get hot for 1 game and shit all over 2 star players who overachieved and worked their ass off to get to this game. 

Hook’em Horns, let’s get this done...

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

I thought Lipscomb was a cosmetics brand.  

We got this. TCU was the real tourney championship.  

Let's get this motherscratcher started! Texas!

Hello? Anyone?

Hook 'em!  Pulling for you guys to take the NIT title.  Good luck!!

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)!

A win here would be a great springboard into next week....

I guess it's appropriate they used Kerwin for the final game day image of the season.

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

Because his dumb ass is (partially) why we aren't in the NCAAs because his ass can't stop smoking weed during the home stretch?

Mac, if I remember correctly, Kentucky had the #1 recruiting class that year and was preseason #1 as well.

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.  

Tonight is the night Texas joins the exclusive club of Big XII NIT Champions.

You have been watching this season?  Right?

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

a win tonight portends an NIT dynasty 

#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.

If you don't care about potentially hanging a banner tonight then maybe you should stop pretending to be a Texas basketball fan.

Lipscomb actually played and beat TCU by 9 this season.

That's why you schedule those difficult non conf opponents, to sharpen your skills in preparation for the NIT.

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. 

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.

Hell yes. We will raise that #69 banner high.

Riiiiight.

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.
