I think it was the right decision for this year, but we shouldn't make a habit of turning down NIT invites.

Don't be cutting on crappie.  Tasty fillets.

With our staff the only fish they have been catching lately is crappie

I don't know if I agree with this but tbh we weren't a NIT caliber team.  

We’ve been an NIT-level program this decade. 6 ncaa tournament appearances in the past 16 years. 

If you watch them, the ball never stops in the post.  And frequently, it's not a first option -- you see them with pull up jumpers a lot.  When they do go post to Edey, it's either a quick move to the bucket or a quick pass back out.  Then, maybe a reset and a second pass back in.  Meanwhile, the guards/wings are all moving about.  It's a much more open system than what IU does.  
 

I hope this kid's parents let him go to the final four game against Purdoo. 
 

I do believe it was 7.  Or that is what I recall.

Stop back again when you don't have to stay so long.

Burns will eat Edey alive -- literally! 
 

Just need the happy ending. A Vols win. 

I gotcha! This is UConn’s shot chart vs Illinois last night.
 

 
And this is IU’s in our season ending loss against Nebraska:

He re-classed up and I don't think it went great for him, but no idea on particulars.

LOVE love love Payne. Plays with incredible joy.
If it was my money bag I’d throw it at him asap.
That is a massive nut punch for Minny

Looks like Justin Steele blew a hammy trying to field a bunt. 
Losing their best pitcher on Opening Day would be so like the Cubs ... 
 

Tomorrow will be my 17th straight opening day. Pumped for some baseball. 
Lets go Redlegs!

Anxious to see how the Diamondbacks do this year. Great run last season, all the way to the WS, but can they repeat?
Adding Eduardo Rodriguez to the pitching staff should help, and they picked up a couple more bats in Eugenio Suarez and Joc Pederson.
But they're still in the division with the Dodgers and their massive payroll. I'll take another run via the wild card route again.

Watched the Cubs/Cards this afternoon.  I hope that Cubbies' defense today was just an aberration.

Norfolk St wins it 

Yeah, I'm late to the party but I'm still excited to talk with the guy. 
 
Meanwhile PFW is running away from Norfolk State in the CIT Championship. 

Brutal for high point.  Up 1 gave up a 3 and after the 3 they get hit with a hook and hold Seattle hits both and gets ball and then scores on an in bounds play.  High Point was up 1 and after all that was down 6 with 1:36 to go 

Teams trading shots. Seattle just buried a 3 to go up 2 with 1:36 to go.  CBI championship is delivering
