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

I want us to win simply for the players who've given their college career to Texas to go out that way.

But hanging a banner? The "We Couldn't Get into the Real Tournament" banner? That's not something that will ever be one of my notable fan memories. Simply winning your first game in the NCAA tournament beats that hands down.

    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.

Lipscomb actually played and beat TCU by 9 this season.

And we lost to TCU twice this season.  That was a huge mental hurdle.

I'm too embarrassed to watch this game in front of my family. My wife's alma mater is in the final fuckin four -- the real one -- for the 4th time in 10 years and keeps asking how Texas is doing in our tournament. I had to explain a couple weeks ago what the NIT was to my 7 year old die hard Longhorn son and it felt like shit. Fuck Shaka man for making me explain the NIT.

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

I'm just glad we didn't skip it, and I think it's good for the guys who are wrapping up their college careers.

We can raise a low rent banner all we want. That doesn't make it either memorable or meaningful.

The mere fact that the NCAA takes 68 basketball teams means you're in some pretty mediocre territory at best trying to cobble together a tournament out of what's left.

I'll accept and support the players wanting to win. It's kind of pathetic, however, to treat raising the NIT banner as any kind of event.

We're at game 37 of this season and people are still taking the bait from Fozzz.

Maybe you're right but how do you think your players will remember their time at Texas if they win the NIT and it's swept under the rug as if it never happened? They'll be alumni too.

With CDC at the helm, I expect the banner to be tastefully done.  God knows what that clown Patterson would have done with it.  

oh good, suddenly there's a bunch of interest in UT hoops. guaranteed bed shitting tonight. and they had been playing so well when nobody knew the season was still going on. shame.

Was planning on going, but I have to make a 5 minute speech at 7:15 PM in the UES because my assistants are afraid of public speaking. Sucks, because I have to go to Penn for the LIRR anyway. Be lucky to make halftime now. 

Along those lines, is the game starting right at 7 or 730? Could have sworn that for semis and maybe another game before that, coverage started at “7pm” but game didn’t start until 30 min after...

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.  

would love to see how Lipscomb matches up with us on:

-Staff salary

-overall budget

-facilities

-academic excellence and support

-location

-media coverage

-any other metric worth a flying fuck

 

 

lolololololol  embarrassing, but go Horns!

Indiana appears to hang their NIT banner as prominently as NCAA Final 4 appearances or Big 10 champs.  I believe their NCAA champ banners are set up as individual banners

Read that UCLA replaced their '85 NIT banner when they won the NCAA in '95.

 

 

This is the Longest Texas Basketball Season in History per Craig Way......

I believe this is the only time I've known for certain that I'm watching the last Texas basketball game of the season (I was 2 in 1978).

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.

AP Coach Of The Year both Men's and Women's are from Texas schools. Yay? er.. Whoop!
