Yeah a 12 point deficit...5 at half, I've watched the whole game this far, it was never a thumping lolComment

Illinois has a tendency to look really sloppy and careless for stretches, but then can look really good at other times. I think they try to play too fast, and their guards are not always making good decisions.Comment

Good question. At some point these D2 level coaches who find immediate D1 success by bringing their best players with them, will have to prove that they can recruit against D1 competition and succed without their legacy players.Originally posted by tomahawk chop View PostComment

Loyola wins, as San Francisco had three shots from right under the rim in the final 3 seconds but couldn’t convert til a split second after the buzzer went offComment

Led only once when it was 5-4. Trailed by as many as 16 in second half, chipped away and got within 6 with under 2 to play only for Kentucky to push it back to 12 pretty quick. So yea.... not a thumping.Originally posted by egib52 View Post
Was nothing like the colossal smackdown they got last year vs UConn.

I'm not sure why there is so much Illini hate on this board. A young team lost in the second round of the tournament. It was a frustrating loss, but still was a good season.Originally posted by MacabreMob View Post

I've got a theory that if you give 100 percent all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.Comment

How did Oklahoma State get into the NIT with a losing record?My first BU hoops game was on 12/30/1963. My dad took me to watch the Braves defeat Arizona 67-59. He helped me get Coach Orsborn's autograph before the game.Comment

Chattanooga won the 2025 NIT last night, beating UC-Irvine 86-85 in overtime.
Box score- https://www.ncaa.com/game/6444742/boxscore
It was a great game to watch; quite a few lead changes, great play on both sides, and a couple unusual foul calls at the end of regulation, both on three point attempts. Chattanooga made a couple more clutch shots late in the game to come back and tie, then to pull ahead and win in overtime.
The stands at Hinkle Fieldhouse appeared mostly empty. The attendance was reported as 2,825. Capacity at Hinkle is 9,100.
That has to be one of the lowest attendance numbers for an NIT Championship game ever.
Attendance for the semifinal double-header on Tuesday was 3,288.Comment
