We seem headed for the NIT. Disappointing for the moment, but just consider how much better off we are than a year ago. Better NIL. Better players. Better coaches. Better recruits coming next year.

This is trending up fast. Be sure to come out to all home NIT games!

Really hard fought game last night. I forgot that the early games in the NIT are at home. Great chance to see our team play again.

Hopefully we get a high enough seeding to at least get one game at Moody, possibly two games at home. I expect B.J. Edwards to become the all-time single season steals leader before this season is over. Would be nice to see these guys make a deep run and send the seniors out on a positive note

Very proud of our team. Call me crazy but after the game last night I told my husband that I think I prefer us to be in the NIT this year. I would (hopefully) rather go farther into that tournament than lose the first game in THE tournament.
Also, I think Clemson has, to me, become the UT of the ACC….the team I might dislike the most.

Difficult for me to hate on Clemson (having sent both my kids to school there) but I am frustrated that we have not yet beaten them in football or basketball as ACC members. We did beat them in the NIT back in the LB era so I at least have that!

No one would have thought back last summer that we would be within 3 points of beating them in both sports.

Seriously! Before the season started my goal was to make the ACC tournament!

The first year in the ACC has been an blessing of success. Football and bball performed way above my expectations.

Come to a game, donate to the Mustang Club and if you can, find a collective that you like and donate there as well.

Still disappointed we didn't win one for LB which would have given him the trifecta with NBA, NCAA & NIT titles to his credit

Clemson fans are rather easily likable. They are good folks who love their school's teams. They hate SoCar, as should we all, but they are sporting even with Chicken fans. SoCar people tend to think being called coots is a sign of something bad on the name caller, but Chickens are like that.

With UNT losing to UAB in the AAC semifinals, the stage is set for SMU and UNT to be in the same NIT bracket and hopefully match up against each other. Along with TCU, that's a bball series that should be played every year for the "Metroplex Mayors Trophy". Not unlike what they do in Philly where the six D-1 bball schools all play at least 3 non=conference games against each other
