Congrats to the Blazers! Wasn’t sure which UAB team would show up - the one that got smoked by Wisconsin and UNC-CH or the one that was competitive in losses to Florida, UCLA, and LSU. Ended up the latter and even better since they won this one!

Go Blazers! Go C-USA!

NIT Semifinals @ Madison Square Garden, NYC, March 31

Stanford vs ODU

Miami-FL vs Temple

La. Tech’s Speedy Smith really screwed his ankle up in the 2nd half last night and had to be carried off the court. The Bulldogs were probably already sunk at that point anyway (down 10+ when it happened), but that nailed the coffin shut. It was a pretty ugly injury.

The ODU game-winning shot was pretty incredible. Banked it in from 40 feet; Murray St. played great defense on the play and almost forced Freeman out of bounds, but there’s nothing you can do about something that lucky.

odu came out flat and got behind like 19-2 to start. Hard to overcome that, though they almost did.
