Maybe it's just me but damn I can't shake the down feeling I am experiencing.  It is almost as if the season was a mirage in some respects.  And I am sorry but the NIT is a very small consolation.  I know it will get better but at least for now I am pretty down.

The team

Yes, they are the ones who put in all the work and effort and played the game.  Just hope they can bounce back and make winning the NIT their new goal...I think they will because they are competitors!  They have control of the situation which, unfortunately, fans don't.

I think all the fans are horribly bummed. Our team wore gray uniforms and lost a game we all thought they would win.

The NCAA Tournament would certainly have been more prestigious on a national scale, by a huge factor.... but, the NIT is going to be more fun for us. We are in an excellent position for NIT seeding and should be able to host at least one game and possibly more.

Not to go all Bluto-speech, but we can make this NIT run a great series of events.

The NIT is the opportunity at hand and we need to take advantage of it and the fans have to do their part...support the team, attend any games possible, and help move the program in a positive direction.  We are all disappoinrws about missing the NCAA tourney, but life has its bumps in the road and we have to persevere!  It takes the team and the fans to have a great program...GMG

 The best thing to do is get back out there and watch this team compete in the NIT. We still get to see more basketball and they still have more basketball to get better at. Hopefully this is good practice for next season and we can keep some of this core together.

I am feeling this way also. Still an open wound. I am trying to feel better about the NIT. I feel like we could do some damage and if we win it, it would definitely be better than a second round exit in the big Dance.

Absolutely bummed. Just got home from being out of town with the fam…was really looking forward to getting home, pouring a beverage and watching the championship game. Seriously disappointed…been looking forward to that for a week

      Now 48-18. Honestly, this is about as frustrating as it can be for those of us that think the league deserves more respect. I get worried that the data/committee hangs their hats on these losses, rather than look at all the mid-P5 wins we accumulate. Then, when selection weekend rolls around and one or two of us Americans are on the bubble, we get knocked out of discussion in favor of some 0.500 P5 squad.

      Kinda OT, but can someone talk about what Hodge does from an x-and-os standpoint? Curious on both sides of the court. The past 5 years work has removed me from nerding out on the game as much as I used to. You don't see as many coaches from the Iba/Knight trees anymore, side effect being I don't know how these current coaches think about the game.

      In terms of difficulty, I think this team will be closer to SDSU than it is to St. Bonaventure. This will be tough and would be a good win for us. Likely Q2 but a chance of bring Q1 at a neutral site. They have wins at Minnesota and home against Oregon St. ( Oregon St. just played Oregon to 3pts in a battle down the stretch. By all accounts, we got handled by Oregon.) This will have great test for our guards to stay under control. We have seen stretches where Drake and even Mason have struggled with TOs. We need to handle the pressure. We should have the numbers to stay fresh so they need to stay high focus high intensity when they are on the floor. Hoping Ian is feeling better today. We could use him for sure. The tallest they play is 6’9”(3x players) and have 2x 6’1” guards who play a lot of minutes. Would love to see Mason use his strength and exploit those smaller guards as well as Drake and Ian would also be quite a bit taller than them. Fish, Templin and Gateretse should find opportunities this game and maybe even some time for Isaac Davis to use his strength. I think Akanno might have another good game here as well. We need to have to them struggle against our defense and break out for easy baskets, make the game go our way rather than being bogged down attacking their set defense. Also, I think our bigs run the floor much better than their 6’9” 245lb center and we should be able to find some easy baskets if we break out quick like we like to do. I think it will be tough sledding initially until we can calm down and figure out their defensive pressure, then I think we see us separate mid 2nd half and we take the lead for good.
