If we keep UAB under 60, we win. If they score 60-64...tossup. If they get over 65, Blazers probably hold up the hardware. Can't dig a big hole tomorrow.

The betting line for this game is UAB -2.0, but the matchup predictor below says 50.7% UNT win... Line : UAB -2.0 O/U : 127.5 https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/game/_/gameId/401526932

That is great pub for the conference.

still can't get over the final defensive stand... Scott's HUGE swat of that ball and then Sissoko showing what the toughest team is by diving for the ball with no time on the clock as Wisconsin's dude is just standing there watching the game roll away (we're still in the 24 hour window to gloat on this one)

My Mom, who I gather is roughly your age because she wrote for the Daily in the mid to late 70s, called last night and said it was bigger than anything when she was in school and knew Coach Blakeley was smiling. The NIT did after all invite independents back then and we didn't get the call (Mom was in his office when he found out neither tourney invited us...he was not happy) Now was the 70s team better than anything Mac has had? Sure, probably so - though given FAU's run, perhaps not. Post season wins tend to trump regular season ones though (no matter how big) because they get remembered in the books. There's no wikipedia page for the West Texas win. An NIT title would live forever.
