79-76 in OT at Virginia Tech! They will now host College of Charleston for the right to go to NYC.

They won by playing 5-against-7.....the home crowd and the refs were against them. Va Tech shot 24 FTs in the second half....Wichita State, a very physical team, shot 4.
Great win on ESPN. MVC!Yajusneverno! -
A great win for the Shockers! Too bad they couldn't take care of things at home as they could have been a very dangerous team in the NCAA Tournament. But making the NIT Final Four and hopefully beyond would be a very nice accomplishment for this team. And it would keep the Valley in the national spotlight as well.Originally posted by Tulsa Brave View Post
I wonder what excuse Seth Greenberg will use for this loss!

Shockers expose yet another overrated team -- given a #1 NIT seed but most talking heads from out east saying Virginia Tech deserved a 10 seed in the NCAA
and to think...the Valley was weak this year and neither of the best two teams even went to the NCAA!Comment

Glad to see the Valley's #2 team beat the ACC's #6; they should have. I now expect to see them beat CoC by 10+.Comment

After the Shockers win today, Jay Bile-up-ass said, "After the NCAA tournament selections were publicized, I wondered if some people on the committee knew whether the ball is round. I was having a hissy fit when the committee included UAB and VCU and omitted Virgina Tech. After Wichita State beat Va Tech on Tech's home court, I now realize my head is block-shaped for not arguing for Wichita State to be in the NCAA. And I also realize the Committee members do know the ball is round after VCU beat Georgetown"Comment

Good apology by Jay, but really, does it even matter in the long run? He and all the others are going to repeat that same hissy fit every year! They never change, and I certainly don't expect them to change. But the ones that get hurt each year are the Wichita St's and Missouri St's of the world.Originally posted by Dallas Brave View Post
Well, I guess winning the NIT would be somewhat of a poetic justice for the teams that did not get invited to the tourney.Last edited by Bravesfan; 03-20-2011, 05:10 PM.Comment

The real Jay Bilas eats no humble pie. I scripted the quote based on what I attribute him to be thinking.Originally posted by Bravesfan View PostComment

Oh darn! I thought he actually said that. Oh well, why would I expect anything like that from him.Originally posted by Dallas Brave View Post
Good bit of sarcasm DB! You probably had a lot of people on here fooled like me.

I fogot that the NIT was going on this weekend while the Big Boys are playing in the national spotlight!
This was great news to see about WSU!
I'd love to see them in MSG!
Didn't think they'd beat Va Tech, but they proved me wrong.
The Valley is now 6-1 in post-season tourneys as far as I know. Pretty impressive!Comment

In addition, it's a treat to Shocker fans who have supported the team with sell-outs all season long to be able to have a chance to cheer their team to the NIT final 4.
Nice way to send the seniors out in front of the home faithful...if they win.
I'd have to say the Shocker fans might be the best in the Valley as far as reving the team up and coming out to support the team in good seasons or bad.
BU fans do the same, but it's just not the same boisterous environment that should give the home team that extra edge.Comment
