My theory on defense is that having Hayes off the court takes away a crutch of having a legit rim protector, forcing the entire team to up their collective effort.

    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.

Texas may smoke these guys in 2nd half.

...or they may let them slide back into it, making it closer than it should be, because, you know, it's what they've been doing for the whole tournament, pretty much. "It's a 40 minute game." Or something;.

Did we just run a play to end the half?

if by "whole tournament" you mean "whole year" I completely agree with you.

They are playing better team defense, rebounding better on defense...... plus Refs aren't calling many touch fouls.

So, it's possible for the Big 12 to win the NIT Championship and the NCAA Basketball Championship?  Well, let's see.

I just have no words. This NIT started with Texas running out to a 19-0 lead, which of course we inevitably blew, only to find ourselves down 67-64. I legitimately thought we would lose that game, and as recently as the Xavier game we've still looked like the regular ole trash product we've come to expect from Shaka. But with all of that said, the last three halves of basketball are as well as we've played under Shaka since his first year here. Just a totally different team.

They still need to finish.

Baylor Women in FF also.

Yep.

I have all along been of the opinion that Shaka is eventually going to be a championship caliber coach, but amended that this year to say that it just wasn't likely to happen while he was employed at Texas. That's still likely to be true, but we've been teased by glimpses of potential with the defensive effort we've seen in the last couple of games. Along with the rest of the known galaxy, I am skeptical that next season will be any better than this one, but 10 years from now, Shaka is going to be doing a good coaching job somewhere.

I can't believe I'm about to type this, but after the past 2.5 games, I feel like they will.

Must be running a fever or some shit.

Why isn't Hayes playing?

Injured during the Big 12 Tourney.

Just a shame it took playing in the NIT for this team to get motivated.

How we got this far with this level of guard play i don’t know. 

How we got this far with this level of guard play i don’t know. 

Because we have three highly talented guards who are compensating for being very poorly coached.

 Brick brick brick brick brick brick brick God damn man, the offense is running well but these fuckers can’t make shots. 

0 fer the 2H.  its amazing how often we come out beginning of game and half looking like shit.

This game is like two big time special needs teams going at it, brick by brick.

and we've been better in the glass too. just totally the opposite of what anyone predicted. never could have seen this coming. 

Hayes wasn’t a very good rebounder. Sims is much better than him. 

we have the "dribble drive without a plan" down pat

That was an idiotic pass. Do they practice this?  

Lol. Just target Osetkowski, he can't defend to save his life.

These last three games are arguably our three best of the season.

And, yes, I know it's "just" the NIT, but the way everyone has stepped up and executed on both ends (especially on defense, of course) has been remarkable.

I know Fran keeps saying it, but the UNC win, Purdue win, @WVU, and even the first 30 minutes at Baylor we’re all better played minutes than any game in this tourney.

Strongly disagree. We beat UNC cuz Roach played the game of his life, WVU was in complete disarray, and we blew a 21-point lead against Baylor. Even if we agree on UNC, the other two are reaches.

The NIT Champon should get to play the NCAA Champion for all the marbles, maybe even have a 4 team tournament with the CIT,CBI Champons as well. 

Quit fucking show the crowd and bench reactions and show the god damned game.

no idea what just happened 

That's the shittiest trophy ever. I bet there is a guy in the back with a Brother label maker getting it ready for the winner.

So apparently the officials were pulled aside at halftime and instructed to keep this as close as possible.
