The NIT games that year were a lot of fun in those days all  games were at the Garden .  We beat Pete Maravich LSU team and Dr. J Massachusetts team . We also beat a  Utah team that featured Mike Newlin who had a long successful NBA career and in the final  The Johnnies had Billy 'The Whopper " Paultz who had a great run in the NBA and ABA.  Our guys put on a great show at the Garden  in that last game in front of a packed and very loud crowd.

Looks like we have the whole league playing on Wednesday. Will be interesting to see how each of the team sheets look after those games. Would like to see The Johnnies, The Hall and Nova pick up wins. Would help MU and The Leagues cause.

Will be nice to have 5 big east games all on the same day. Do we want Nova to win tomorrow or do we want them to lose again?

Until we clinch the BE Title we always want them to lose.

This.

Nova has 5 games left. I command them to lose their next 3 (especially the third one). After that, we can talk about whether we should allow them to win their last 2.

And who says we don't have any control over the games? wades was right!

Ring out ahoya! ... and Ring Nova's neck, Hoyas!

[MuMark]

42-28 Hoyas........

[Mr. Nielsen]

Xavier up on  Seton Hall tied at 44-36 on CBSSN.. Seton Hall must protect It's home floor for it's bubble hopes.

[HowardsWorld]

G'town up 16 with 6 to go.

[Cheeks]

G'Town up 13 on Nova with 6 minutes to play.

[HowardsWorld]

If georgetown hangs on it will give up another quad 1 win. They will get to 75 from the 81 NR with this ass kicking.

[MU82]

Game's not over yet, so I might have to eat these words, but can you imagine the reaction on Scoop if we had gotten routed by Georgetown? We didn't have Markus and Morrow, but for some of the more "competitive" Scoopers, it would have been, "No excuses. Georgetown is terrible."

If this holds up, it'll be 3 losses in 4 games for Nova. Time to fire Wright!

[wadesworld]

Biggest game of the year for MU. Time to give ourselves a bit of room for error. Opportunity arises. Take control boys!

[fjm]

Dudes. This GTown win is GRRRREAT for MU.

Nova definitely a bit off right now. I actually thought they looked slow against us for 32 minutes until they decided to make a game of it.  Big opportunity tonight.  @ Seton Hall still terrifies me for future games.

Best position/chance our team has had for an (outright) reg season champ in quite some time. 

[MU82]

Amazing to see Nova get crushed.

It happens. It's sports -- the only true "reality TV" -- and it's why people love sports. If the "better" team won every time, nobody would care.
