Final Four! NIT Style

[jayb2000]

OK, so we got Memphis vs. St. Joseph's and Maryland vs. South Carolina.

I know there is a whole NCAA thread, but I thought maybe some folks out there might want to chat about this one.

Calipari vs. Martelli - I think it should be a good game. Both teams were pretty much one win from the NCAA.


GO ST. JOES!! :D

Should be a couple of good games - thanks for reminding us there is more basketball to fill the void this week!

Ya-Hoo!
St. Joe's won!

Looks like SJU vs.. South Carolina.

I think I might have to go to the game... :D


Only a 4 hr drive and I get free tickets...hmmm

Good. Maryland got in! Woohoo! :cool:

Ugh. One of the most painful MD seasons ends. Our JuCo PG finishes the last game with 1 assist / 6 TO's.

Our defense is non-existent. Our half-court offense (flex) relies on big-men who move. None of them move. Flex relies on passing. Trav/EI/Nik can't catch worth a damn.

The upside? We know Bowers can pass. He needs to improve his conditioning, though. Jones can score, there is no doubt in that. If he takes minutes from McCray, I could care less. We have DJ coming back next year, for more solid defense intensity. Hopefully Gist puts on more weight, making a good solid center/PF rotation with Bowers and Trav.

Yeah, I could see MD vs. St. Joe's in final four NCAA next year! :)

Ah, the NIT. The tournament that decides who's #66!

What a sloppy game.
Congrats to SC, but man that sucked. :(
