Re: College Hoops Thread '09-'10
So what are we talking about above, and what's this all about? Well, in MSG last night:
Dayton 68 - Mississippi 63 = The Flyers end the season for the SEC, sending Ole Miss back to the Delta. Dayton has not won an NIT championship since 1968, but it's not for lack of trying. They have certainly found themselves in this "other" tournament often enough. Tomorrow night their seven seniors will get a chance to win their third, when they go up against the underachieving underclassmen of:
UNC 68 - Rhode Island 67 (OT) = Laugh if you will, but at least these kids are finally trying their damndest to win. They scored the last 5 points in regulation to send it into OT, grabbed 27 offensive rebounds, forced 18 turnovers, and beat the team with the highest RPI (#40) of any who did not get at at-large to the NCAAs. Plus, this gives them 20 wins for the season, which is a mark I thought unreachable a month ago. Hey, if you're given lemons, you know what to do.
