Boise is good. We’ll need to bring our A game!

Watching the selection show live, as soon as they showed Dayton was in I thought our guys better get an invitation! Pretty good field so should be a good tournament. I just hope this SMU team can be much closer to full strength by the time they face off with Boise State as the Broncos have played far more games than our guys and haven't had the interruptions so this will be a huge challenge.

Woot!

Finally, another participation banner to be hung in Moody. Would be nice if we could pair it with the champion banner as well.

Yeah, winning an NIT championship and giving Jank another year would be absolutely disastrous

yep- the NIT ( nobody important tourney) will enable casper and the not-so-money man to keep this disaster floating for another year. Wonder how much they have lost in sales revenue the last few years.

Boise St. a 1 point favorite early on.

They started out really hot but lost their final 4, most of them though to San Diego St who is the top team in the conference.

Hoepfully, we will be in better shape with more players available for more minutes.

I don't feel good about anything we do in Frisco.
