2001 NIT

If anyone is still up ESPN Classic is airing the 2001 NIT quarterfinal against Tulsa. Not gonna lie. I was still a tad young to know anything about this game. I had to look it up. It is interesting to hear Jim Ellis on the TV call.

I remember well watching that game. I was a senior in high school. I knew MSU basketball was back. Zimmerman was one of my favs to watch. Didnt he make a big 3 to force OT. Not onlyd did it propel us forward, that Tulsa team won NCAA tourney game as a 12 seed the next year.

I was there. I think it was around Spring Break, but being in grad school that just means "time when you can actually get work done".
We were watching the teams warm up and Tulsa's center was draining 3's like it was nothing. That's when we knew we'd be in trouble.
