NIT

It also sounded like SMU sucked all of the energy out of the arena when we beat them.

That was Gampel Arena (Storrs) not the XL Center (Hartford). Uconn plays almost all of its "Big" games in Hartford b/c Storrs is located in the middle of nowhere (think 30 miles west of Denton).

Well we certainly apologize for that haha

Well I WAS told I sucked more than once while I was in the building.

Yeah

Not that it will matter all that much around here while we are still wallowing in abject shock/grief/anger at yesterday's results - the AAC does still have two teams alive in the NIT, who could conceivably meet in the championship game...

Temple is a #1 seed and Tulsa is a #2 seed. Would be great for the AAC to have them both get to MSG

[CalallenStang]

Temple playing GWU on ESPN right now. Up 32-21 at the under 4 break in the first half

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Temple in total control - up 72-59 with 5:28 left.

[LA_Mustang]

They'll get the winner of Texas A&M/La Tech next.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Temple wins 90-77.

Tulsa hosts Murray State tomorrow night.

[Blvd_Stang]

If both AAC teams make the finals, and they still hose our conference... that's really sad.

It's a really empty feeling being part of the "have-nots", and having an institution (NCAA/ESPN) systematically devalue you.

If we deserved to be in a small conference, it would be easier to swallow. But it's hard to see our academics, coaches (commitment to athletics), city, infrastructure and history be ignored. Really hard.

[LA_Mustang]

Temple gets La Tech. Winner goes to the Garden.

Murray state #2 is a stud

[GiddyUp]

This game will be a battle

[Stallion]

both Tulsa and Murray St shooting lights out early. Good flow to this game

[LA_Mustang]

I feel bad for Murray St. They went 16-0 during the regular season in conference, then lost their conference tournament championship. That's tough.

[RGV Pony]

Could see that happen to us
