The tournament officials are calling us UL Lafayette. Maybe when they get to Lafayette, our AD and SID can convince them to call us UL and Louisiana which will be particularly important if we beat Rice. You know McNeese won't call us that but might have to if the tournament does. Anyway, a great opportunity to make some inroads on a national level with this exposure.
Dion Rainey beat UAB in 1980 in the NIT with his deep corner shot. He was long gone by the time we played Florida in the NIT. When we beat Florida in the 1985 NIT, George Almones and Cedric Hill were key guys. Florida missed a close in shot at the buzzer to let us escape with the win. We lost the next 1985 NIT game to Tennessee on the road due to several missed free throws and turnovers in the last minute. In the 1985 NIT, guys like Graylin Warner, Dion Brown, and Alonza Allen had moved on. They reached the NIT semi finals in 1984.
I just read an email on my school account saying that all students get into the game free with a valid student ID. This is great news!
Are there brackets to see whom we would play if we win???
The CIT takes the old NIT approach. Next round matchups determined by who wins in the previous round. Tourney officials will try to group teams with others within region to minimize travel.
So If the Broke backs and UL both take care of business wednesday we could be seeing a nice lil regional match up here in the dome!
Look at the field. We can win this dam tournament!!!!!!!
