April 5, 20196 yr Not the tournament I wanted to see us in, but winning the NIT isn’t a bad consolation prize. Thank you to all those that are moving on and see the rest of you next year!
April 5, 20196 yr Yea Horns. So what’s the protocol? Hang a banner? Buy a t-shirt at the Co-op? Forget this season ever happened?
April 5, 20196 yr Happy for the players, especially DO and Roach. If Shaka does indeed return for next year (which is likely), I hope he takes something from this run other than our athletes being better than their athletes. Because while we benefited from physically overmatching most of the teams we faced, there was an energy and purpose to much of our play that simply wasn't there this season. Bottle that up and get the team to play like that in the games that really matter.
April 5, 20196 yr Get em while they're hot, bitches https://www.universitycoop.com/Texas-Longhorns-Mens-Basketball-2019-NIT-Champions-T-Shirt
April 5, 20196 yr Woo-hoo! It feels like i just got upgraded to first class on Spirit Airlines (if that's a thing).

Isn't there a banner for the 1978 NIT Championship hanging in the FEC? I mean, it's better than losing in the NIT. Maybe it's something they can build on.

April 5, 20196 yr Texas joins an elite group of schools with 2 championships including BYU, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Long Island, Ohio State, Penn State, Providence, South Carolina, temple, Tulsa, Virginia, Virginia Tech and WV. We can only dream of joining the next tier of blue blood elite NIT schools like Stanford and Dayton who have 3
April 5, 20196 yr We could go aggy with a banner and have NATIONAL and CHAMPIONS in big letters with invitational and tournament in fine print.
April 5, 20196 yr Congrats guys. Ignore the jerks. Enjoy the victory, work hard in the offseason and come ready to start next year.
April 5, 20196 yr I think I can take some credit for this one guys. I found a monkey paw during the offseason and while holding it I wished that Shaka Smart would be cutting down the nets in April. But seriously congrats to the team. It was nice to see them put that many winning performances in a row and win a tournament. It is always nice to add something to the trophy case.
April 5, 20196 yr We might be champions of this tournament: But hey, we're champions! Good 5 game run, well, not really, expected wins. However beating TCU was sweet and they played great. Anyway, hang that banner in Milton's downstairs office and be proud of it!

April 5, 20196 yr For those making the "We're number 65/69!" comments, Marshall just beat Green Bay for the CIT championship. What the hell number are they? Edited April 5, 20196 yr by J.R. Juniors Junior Jr.
April 5, 20196 yr Yay us. Whatevs. The 69 thing is stupid. The last at-large in the big dance went in on the what? 11 line? 12 line? Not the 16 line.
April 5, 20196 yr winning a tournament isn't easy. We want to mock this shit, but some pretty decent programs in the 32 couldn't get it done. So it's a big deal regardless of Surly. The huge positive was the team played well without Hayes. Good sign for next year.

April 5, 20196 yr This thread would've been better if nobody had posted in it. But glad they won. Edited April 5, 20196 yr by Chopper
April 5, 20196 yr The mighty Lipscomb dynasty has finally come to an end. I'm happy we won something. Mostly happy we kept TCU from winning anything. And I'm sad that Shaka got retained after this shitty season for this consolation prize. It's like two consolation prizes.

The occasional NIT championship is nice, even if Shaka hangs around.
