People have been quick to put down our team after today, which is shocking. Well how the turntables after everyone was saying we wouldn't be as good this year after our Buffalo and Miami collapses. The reality is that it's been a great season and it would take more than one hand to count the number of games we probably should have lost but didn't. "Luck" was going to run out.
It is a harsh reality for mid-majors that one loss will turn a "strong 12 seed" into NIT participants. And today was really deflating. But if the committee leaves us out, we need to get over it and be there at the Pit to support the team all the way to MSG.
Different group of guys, but I remember Mac's first team here at UNT that got off to a 14-10 overall start then lost 6 of their last 7 conference games then got bounced by #10 seed LA Tech in the first round of the conference tournament. Mac was able to rile them up to of course make their historic CBI run. I know these guys are pissed as well, and if we are NIT-bound, I know Mac will get them motivated to make it to the Big Apple.
