2024 NIT Champs
- Thread starter Piratz
- Start date
Just trying to keep all the wording uniform width. Bit of a nitpick, imo.
The only thing less meaningful than the NIT is the font size on a banner celebrating the NIT.

C’mon. Sure we all want the NCAA. But the NIT championship is something to be happy about and the team did win five games. It’s meaningful to SHU. To Holloway.
The NIT run was great. I was just busting chops because that was a silly thing to complain about.
Expectations are the key. Before the season and then early in the campaign we had readers here predicting 2-4 wins in conference. We won 13 and got screwed by the selection committee. The team could have packed it in but instead proved the committee wrong. In my book that's a tremendous job by all concerned and we should be proud of the team and their accomplishments.
Dan, I would love to get peoples' reactions if they too sat thru the NJIT game. We had nothing.
Preseason I was optimistic (I actually aw us finishing around 4-5 after Uconn, MQ and CU and maybe someone else), post NJIT I was hoping the winter weather was gonna be OK cause going to the games on a clear road would be enough torture for one night lol. The away OOC games and the RU game made it worse, and then we played the best team in the country.
Re the NIT, I am sick of the downplaying of it. Like Dan says, we got screwed, we shook it off and we won five more games, the last one in an overwhelmingly hostile arena. GREAT JOB!!! It aint the NCAAs but it is what we had to deal with. And we dealt!

Point is how often does a power conference team that got royally screwed do anything in the NIT?
What the Pirates did under Holloway was amazing. The fan base should be proud of the accomplishment and any banner hung inside the gym or on campus is richly deserved.
Fans should be proud as well. If we didn’t turn up and share some energy at Walsh, they wouldn’t have made it out of the first game of NIT. Sha even said as much.
it felt good to have a real home court advantage and 6th man.

The fans absolutely won the first game in the NIT. Far before Sha said anything I noted to friends that we would not have won the game against St Joe's at the Rock.
This banner is as much because of you as anything else.
