Game 30: MVC Semifinals vs. Loyola-Chicago

[sevelev711]

I mean we're a mid-major school that's been to the NCAA tournament exactly 8 times, I don't know if we really have a leg to stand on to go "Ugh, gross, NIT."

You could tell it was not our game from the start. It was like we were nervous playing Loyola. Bad time for GreenBorn and Cater gave a bad day shooting. Loyola is just a better team

Next up, 3/15 or 3/16 for NIT opening round. Could have been worse.

Our arguably best player in history isn't going to make the tournament with this program.

Ugh, Gross, NIT.

[NI hawk]

Down 12 and no one goes for offensive rebound.

[skydog0784]

I'm fairly excited about NIT actually. Obviously not the Big Dance but more hoops for the season and will be some fun to watch...

I think AJ probably plays in the NIT, but I wouldn't blame him if he opted not to.

[CyCarp]

When you don't run the offense and your shooters can't make shots, this is what happens. Let's wreck the NIT

I got destroyed for saying LUC was way better than us and they proved it again today. It sucks, but it’s the reality at this point. I really hope this message board doesn’t turn into blame the refs because we were simply outplayed by a better team. 20% fg and basically the same 3pt %. We obviously can compete with these guys but home advantage is a must to beat them.

With Phyfe we are probably better. Unfortunately for us and him we don’t have him and may never again.

proud of the way these guys came back after that rough start. Hopefully AJ comes back but that seems like a long shot. I hate that the best recruit ever may leave and we didn’t make a single ncaa tournament.

get ready and let’s see what we can do in the NIT. Everyone will be frustrated now but it will be fun to watch post season ball.

[not a drake fan]

If you would have told me that we'd make the NCAAs zero times in 4 years with AJ I would not have believed you.

Burhow, Pickford, AJ, Phyfe. These guys deserved to play in the tournament. They were robbed 2 years ago and last year as well. It sucks.

Yea, well our arguably best player in history came up with a 4-20 from the field, 1-7 from 3 pt effort. He had a little something to do with him not getting to the dance today.

[Leatherhelmet]

We went from 102 points to 43 points. Just ice cold frozen worse shooting game we’ve ever had.

[orangetennis]

Shot 23% for the game, 16% from 3. Wow.
