NIT Championship...

[CavsRules]

Anyone even care, watching?

Down 10 right now in the first half with about 2-3 minutes to go. Not looking good, they are getting inside at will.

I noticed not one post about the whole NIT and OSU, guess we aren't expected to win that, either? =/

 

[Cavs1]

Hey we won! Now they can't hang it over our heads that we lost 2 football and 1 basketball championship in 2 years now can they!?......lol

Means...nothing. It's like a NCAA football Bowl Game that isn't a championship.

Means nothing.

At least this rebuilding year wasn't a total waste.. Sucks to see Butler go, though he did go out on a winning note.

That win was important for next year. Progressing Turner, Lighty and Koufas and even Lauderdale will prove important.

So although it means nothing on a national scale, the more experience we can get, the better.

If Koufas stays, and we add another top notch recruiting class (we currently have 2 5star recruits, one 4star, one 3star, and, don't laugh, Pryor, a 4 star b-ball recruit as well), it's hard to imagine us not making the tourney again next year.

To me, that's a pretty quick reload for a program that just 5 years ago wasn't considered a top notch program.

It still isnt considered a top notch program. They are in the Big Ten and you can't say they are a better program than Michigan St, Indiana, Purdue, Wisconsin and you can even make a case for a struggling Illinois.

Matta does has an impressive recruiting class though. The big kid they got plus Kofous could be interesting combo. I dont think Kosta is ready for the L and he didn't wow anybody this year anyway.

OSU is building a strong program, but they aren't Big Ten title contenders yet, let alone National contenders.

It Matta sticks around...it could be a very very good program because he is showing he can recruit well. But didnt Pryor say he wasn't playing basketball????

 

[CavsRules]

I don't think Pryor said he "wasn't playing basketball", because I don't remember him saying so. But he is playing football, so if it's possible to do both.. Then yeah.

 

[crazedcav333]

It is possible. Some kid from either WVU or Pitt, I think WVU, did it this past season.

I'd rather pass on Pryor playing basketball.

I'd rather him be great at one sport than marginal at two.
