And I'm sad that Shaka got retained after this shitty season for this consolation prize. It's like two consolation prizes. Shaka's not getting retained because he won the fucking NIT. That said, really happy for the team and a Special Olympics gold medal is a hell of a lot better than a participation certificate. Success is supposed to breed success so lets just hope it carries over.

Didn’t see that one... bought a much uglier one for my buddy as a joke and got a burnt orange one for myself so we could never be seen wearing the same fuggo shirt. Hooray team?
April 5, 20196 yr The NIT Championship. Because it’s the championship Shakablah deserves but it’s not the one Shakablah needs right now.

April 5, 20196 yr Well if you’re going to be in the JV tournament, you might as well win the whole fucking thing. Hopefully they can carry some momentum into next year. I want to care about this team. I really do. I miss caring about college basketball
April 5, 20196 yr Going to be a long day at the office. Should have scheduled PTO, rookie mistake. I was up to 9 maybe 9:30pm celebrating. Like I always say, the day after the NIT championship should be a National Holiday.

April 5, 20196 yr UCLA won the '85 NIT championship. They hung a banner for I think one season next to the (then) 10 NC banners. People demanded it come down, so it did.

April 5, 20196 yr There are 31 other teams today that would love to be in the angst-filled position of wondering whether or not they should celebrate winning the NIT. That doesn't change anything, of course, but it's fun to think about.
April 5, 20196 yr Beats losing by 18 points in the first round as a 15 seed in the real tournament.... I think.
April 5, 20196 yr I think about it this way. there were probably 10 Barnes teams that could have won the NIT had they done the faceplant and ended up there.
April 5, 20196 yr Shaka's a genius. Win just enough to make the dance, get blown out in the first round, and probably get canned. Lose just enough to make the NIT, win the NIT, and live to lose another day.

April 6, 20196 yr During the player interview at the end of the game one of the Texas players said “We accomplished what we set out to do this season”. Really?
April 6, 20196 yr Any Championship you win on a Thursday night HAS to suck. There is no putting lipstick on this fucking pig. None.

And after perusing the Wiki page, I have come to the conclusion that we ought to go with one of the previous sponsors of the EFL championship -- we should proudly raise our 2019 Milk Marketing Board NIT Championship banner.
April 6, 20196 yr Author Any Championship you win on a Thursday night HAS to suck. There is no putting lipstick on this fucking pig. None.I mean we won the 2005 national championship on a Wednesday...We played Bama in 2009 on a Thursday. College baseball championships are middle of the week, too.
