Oklahoma State trailing at half.  If they go down, our path to Vegas opens up.

That is of we can beat Alcorn State who's missing 4 players including 3 of their double digit scorers. We really need to start hitting shots.

Just because it's open doesn't mean we can get there!

[CMJ]

Oklahoma State ended up pulling it out by five.

Down goes Clemson at home to Morehead State. UCF clobbered Florida at home. Good showing by the mid-majors so far. It's a shame Youngstown State couldn't pull out the win against Okie State.

If Michigan and OSU St. had gone down I would have loved this NIT.

Honestly, I want a shot at Oklahoma State. If we can get there, I'd love to see what our team can do against a Big 12 school. Santa Clara or SHSU is going to be tough too.

If we beat Sam we will get to play them!

Santa Clara has pulled within two.

I've watched all of 18 minutes of basketball from both these teams, but I think I'd rather play SHSU than Santa Clara

Getting your wish. It won’t be in Denton, right?

Have to wait for them to announce if it's Saturday or Sunday still.

Forgot they switched the seeds. 

[CMJ]

More accurate to say they fixed them.  I think all the 2s and 3s were flipped, so it was just a mistake.

They announced over the PA it would be Sunday as we were leaving the Pit.

 

Not sure what time though.

Not sure what to expect from Sam Houston. Like us, they won a ton of games

[CMJ]

Other part of the bracket, and it doesn't mean anything unless we advance to Las Vegas, but two NIT games on tap today.

 

Michigan @ Vanderbilt

Cincinnati @ Hofstra

 

If the NCAA games on at the same time turn into routs, I may watch one or both of these.

Michigan absolutely melted down in the last 1:30 of their game against Vanderbilt

True but I was thinking either one of them would be tough to play tho.

[CMJ]

I also give a lot of credit to Vandy's pressure.

[CMJ]

Oklahoma State will play before us, so we can watch and root against them or scout them (or both).

I always visualized “knocking off” as throwing a ball at a target at the fair.  Knocking off simply meant success or winning.  No implication of an upset for me.

I do see it as an upset. As in knocking X team off of their elevated pedestal. And I just wanted to make that clear at 3:30AM.
