NIT Home game

[reinko]

Didn't we play in the arena against UW-m like 3 or 4 years ago as a "road" game?

Edit.  Yerp, 2010-2011.  Remember they gave us a scare too, 75-72

[GGGG]

If MU were to host an NIT game this year, I totally agree it should be at the Al. But that makes too much sense, right? Lets see if our incompetent athletic department makes the right call...

And if there is one thing Al Davis knows, it's incompetence.

[Da 'Lanche]

Can we host it at Rucker Park? 

[Sir Lawrence]

"Bad?" "Bad!"

That was one the one of the most shameful nights in the long, proud, storied history of our beloved alma mater. I think it was the epiphany moment we had regarding the Tanned Tyrant

This.  I attended that game, and it indeed was shameful.

Count me as one that would like to see any potential NIT match-up take place at the Al. 

[Coleman]

Have it at the Al. $5 tickets...free for students...first come, first serve, general admission seating.

Its the least MU can do for its fans after these long 3 years.

Butt-hurt about something, chi chi?

Named Big Ten coach of the year today by AP

When you have 24 hours to sell tickets, your best player is hurt, well it wasn't a good thing.  There have been other "shameful" moments over the years, most of them off the court.

Attaboy, Chicos. Way to stand by your man ... whom you claim is a totally hate-able d-bag. It's kind of like Heisy's love/hate with Trump.

Honestly, should have been Gard.

[real chili 83]

Free beer.

In your opinion.

Please keep politics off the main board.

I stated a point of fact, only here on Scoop does that translate into a defense

Bob knight was a great coach....and a douche.  Yes, it is possible to not like someone but still acknowledge their ability in their craft.

Butt-hurt about something, chi chi?

I'm butt-hurt at the lack of winning lately, lack of respect for long-time season ticket holders, lack of respect for former teams/players (see removal of 52 Hilltoppers banner hanging from rafters), butt-hurt about the piss poor scheduling, and butt-hurt about the incompetent athletic department running the show (see silly extension given to Wojo for absolutely nothing). This program has a lot of work to do. I hope Wojo can get it done.

Just win baby.

I saw on my U-Verse guide that on Monday, 3/14, ESPN Classic will be airing the 1998 NIT Quarterfinal game between MU and Minnesota.
(Spoiler alert below if you don't know who won that game.)

That Minnesota squad was 15-15 on the season, and 8-10 in the B1G. RPI in the 70s.
Won the whole thing.* Just sayin.

* Of course, ol' Clem Haskins thought papers/coursework should be optional for his team, so that title was vacated.

[WI inferiority Complexes]

We never got our game on the aircraft carrier; maybe we should play there.

That's a lot of butt-hurt.

I think they make ointments for that.

All true.

[Coleman]

Agreed on Bob Knight. A douche and a great coach.

Crean is also a douche. I don't think Crean is a great coach by any stretch. He did a good job with this year's IU squad. He had a couple good years at MU too. He also crapped the bed a lot. He brought MU back to relevance, and consistently underperformed in every NCAA tournament without Dwyane Wade.

Saying he has a mixed record is probably a fair statement. He's still a douche though.

What ointment do you recommend?

[StillAWarrior]

What ointment do you recommend?

Winning.  It's the best ointment.

[Hubert Davis]

Winning.  It's the best ointment.

Amen. WINNING heals everything!

... and even one with Dwyane Wade.
