Basically, there’s been very little publicity here (print or tv) about this tourney, it’s all been about the F1 race, local pro teams, UNLV and HS playoffs. Article confirms that college b-ball as we once knew and loved it is RIP thanks to NIL.
Good luck this week.

I'm sure you've heard the expression-- Love it or leave it -- why don't you leave it if you can't adjust to the reality of the changes.

That is one hell of a field. A Sweet 16 level that we find ourselves in. Due to Ace and Dylan we got an invite and it continues year to year. Great mixture of conferences . Becoming the premier tourney in the country.

Interesting that RU and Tenn. first played on March 15, 1969, a 67-51 Postseason NIT win for Tennessee at MSG. The teams met again 23 years later in the opening game of the season in the Preseason NIT at the RAC on November 19, 1992. Allan Houston led Tenn. to an 87-79 win.

Yup forgot about this game probably cause the season sputtered in the end. What an awesome crowd.

Ironically this is the most talked about event in the CBB world this week 😅
