  1. You have to look at the NIT as a bowl game, you get to keep on practicing, which is a good thing.  As long as you keep on winning you keep on practicing.  It can pay dividends for next year.  If we can keep on playing tournaments we become a recognized name and a reputation for great defense and recruits take notice.  I believe we are getting established as a basketball school which is a good thing.  I prefer football and we can keep working on that, the AAC has some good basketball schools as well and we need to compete in all sports.  GMG BEAT uab!!!!

  2. It is a Great arena, when it is rocking it is something.  I have been at a lot of games there, from the SRO, I sat on a step at the top, SMU game, to Depaul with my Dad, to La Tech and Texas Tech.  I also had to register for my classes there, my first time to the Super Pit, on the floor it seemed so big.

  3. The largest three crowds are 1977, 1976 and 1980. Two of the opponents were “local” and one a big national opponent with a marquee player, Mark Aquire.  NTSU in 1980 had about 18,000 students.  Why were we able to get large crowds then, we were winning and that was the place to be.  It was fun, a great environment.  Currently, we are in a really good basketball conference with regional opponents.  We are good and are beginning to get reputation as such.  Keep winning and they will come.  Just think in our new 6,500 seat arena we would have turned away nearly a 1,000 fans last night.  GMG!

  4. I am pumped, first big game at home of the season against our hated foe! In 1977 I sat on the steps at the top of the Super Pit and witnessed one hell of a basketball game.  I am ready for a repeat!  I will be there with a bunch of buddies, some who were there in ‘77 but this time in a seat!

  5. This will be a tough game, we are still down two starters and we are still winning. If we can win this one today we have that Dallas team coming to town next week if we get back Rueben and Buggs by then and we can just keep on stepping. GMG
