I enjoyed the game. I usually get stressed out watching this team but tonight's game was much easier on my blood pressure. They kept a big lead almost all the way through. Now on to NYC and TCU. I'm happy for them.

Even though it was a small crowd tonight, it was a good one. Glad they could get another win and a trip to NYC.

Suppose these boys win the NIT.  Does that mean they're the 65th best team in the nation?  I mean NIT champ has to be considered good enough to almost be considered for the big dance, right?

With the play-in games... 69th best team.

Let's just say they would be the best of the rest.

Not Texas related, but hoops related so dumped this here.  Auburn fans chanting sec near the end of their win over Carolina.  Idiots, represent your own team for the win not a conference.  Inbreeding.

The fans have been indoctrinated. Welcome to Mike Slive's vision of the SEC fan base.
