Whelp... If we have to lose Grant, better send him off by winning the whole NIT!

That Purdue tourney was awesome.  That win against Wisconsin?  Unbelievable.

41 points first 20 minutes

13 points next 11

0 final 9

I can’t believe that line.  God bless these guys.  They are tough as nails.

Unbelievable win! So sports happy right now. Toughest team won. Way to grind em down after a rough start. 
 

Headed to Vegas tomorrow night! Not coming back without the hardware. GMG!

Demons = exercised.

Outstanding! Was really happy to see Hunts berry interviewed after the game along with Jones. Kai shut Hepburn down in the second half! 

[Jonnyeagle]

Amazing win.  I apologize for doubting them

In the NIT finals, has one team EVER been held scoreless for over 9 minutes? Much freaking less the FINAL 9 minutes!

I forget what the exact streak was, but we clamped up on Wichita State in a pretty similar fashion last year. 

[Aquila_Viridis]

Not a damn point!

[NT80]

Do we want UAB or UVU for the NIT FINAL??

Whatever happens in the Final, we will forever be listed...

Great game. Glad we get to watch this team play for a championship because they are extremely deserving of it.

UAB. The same conference now and moving on!

[CMJ]

CUSA has really shown up.

[NorthTexasWeLove]

What a game. I loved, loved, loved watching Wisconsin fans buttholes cinch up reeeeaaaaallllll tight in the final 4. It was polarizing. Just their smug thought of coming here and steamrolling ole UNT. And when things were ugly for us early their chuckling and fox grins... I loved watching arms start to cross and eyerolling commencing. 

We. Can. Be. A. Real. Basketball. School. 

0 doubt.

UAB due to conference affiliation.  But whichever, they better be ready for a fight.

[greenminer]

Not that I want this scenario to play out, but if UAB beats us in the final, that would be three teams from the same conference, winning 30+ games in the same season.

I am petty. Give me Utah Valley. Again, I do not want to play UAB a fourth time.

This feels like our Army overdose in football 2016-17. And I hate Jelly.

What an insane game... Light the effing tower!

How you hold a team scoreless for none minutes is beyond me. But as soon as that kid missed both free throws down the stretch I knew they were shaking too hard to make a bucket

[meaniegreenie]

How would we match up against UV?

Neither one of the last two guys wanted to take the shot 3 feet from the hoop.
