South Carolina up by 12 on Louisville with 7 minutes to go.




Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?

SC now up by 16. Man, when did Louisville start to suck this bad?

You can't stop South Carolina in the NIT, you can only hope to contain them.

This will set up a match-up between two NIT Heavyweights, Odom v. Amaker!

This storied tournament deserves an epic battle between perennial underachievers.

My theory is that the Cocks just really like the free trip to New York every year.

I think he just realized that he forgot to Tivo American Idol.

The crowd mic on the South Carolina broadcast just picked up Odom yelling at McDowell, "Stephan, Stephan!!! Save all that dribbling for next summer!!!"

Classic.

Spoken like an NIT Veteran!

Winning the NIT is sort of like busting out of the World Series of Poker and then winning $10 at a slot machine on your way out of the casino.

Does this great tournament still have a "Consolation Game?" Now THAT would be some fun for those teams.

AWWW, Coach. Do we HAVE to?!?!?!

Dave Odom has officially established himself as the "Anti-Pearl". He's wearing a brown suit with a brown tie tonight. He looks about as flashy as a sign post.

But Odom will have the unique distinction of being the first back-to-back NIT champ coach in over 50 years. Wonder if he will get a raise? I think it roughly compares with our former perennial Citrus Bowl appearances.

What the heck do you do with back to back NIT titles? Do you celebrate it?

You don't talk about the possibility of a three-peat.

What do you say if you are the loser in that game, "Yeah, well, whatever." Not really useful to interview them.

Oh, I don't know. Finishing the year winning 9 out of 10 games and bushwhacking teams that were crying about not getting into the Big Dance wasn't all that bad.

Sure the NIT is a secondary tournament. It's kind of like a bowl game that's not on New Year's Day. You gotta play in it. The only people who care about the NIT are the fans of the teams playing.

.....and for the record, I just ironed up my favorite Gamecock Golf shirt. :p

Even the UK Board is giving the 'Cocks some love. They are pleading for Balkman to go to the NBA. He played like a man on a mission in this tournament, except the WKU game.

I think Balkman should have stayed in Milli Vanilli.

I'm just glad the record didn't start skipping in the second half of the game. That could have been devastating.

"Guard, you know it's true! I-just-dun-un-ked ON YOU!!!!!! B-B-B-BOY!!!!!"
"Took you to the hole, and made a foo-ool OUT OF YOO-HOOOOOO!!!!!!"

Thanks for the response. I felt sort of lame going to a Milli Vanilli reference until you went Weird Al Yankovich on some lyrics.

It was time for a bail out. The MV reference was pretty funny. I don't think Renaldo quite has the looks of Milli Vanilli. He has one of the biggest beaks ever. He looks like he's been in a few knock-down-drag-outs and his nose took all of the punishment. Between that and all of his tats, he's a rough dude.
