Good chance it will be 8)CSU at 1)Xavier because that was 1 of the dumbest losses I ever watched. Up 6 with 45 seconds left then 4 straight missed FT's an offensive foul up 2 trying inbound the ball then up 2 with 5 seconds left fouling on purpose thinking your up 3 at half court. Good god.
Also one that would be pretty interesting would be if it was 1)Dayton at 8)CSU if the game is Tuesday or Wednesday Dayton would not be able to play at home.

I'm actually looking forward to the NIT. If the Vikes play over their heads in the fist game, who knows things can get really interesting. Advancing out of the HLT to the NCAAs this year is a guaranteed ticket to a shed party on national TV.
Don't get me wrong, I would have liked to see the Vikes advance. It's always good to make that trip. Maybe next year.

Dayton a real possibility now and if game is Tuesday or Wednesday they would have to play at Cleveland State no ?
Another possibility is us a 7 to Xavier 2
I got 67 out of the 68 teams right I had Texas A&M IN and Notre Dame out that is the 1 I missed.

As a Xavier fan we are all sickened by the collapse and failing to make the NCAA's and not really enthused about playing in the NIT and most of us want a Miller or Mack back as coach. Clearly the game will mean more to CSU than Xavier. I really wanted to play Dayton and get that home court and not be playing Xavier. I am guessing the game will be on ESPN+ and not even on TV so I won't even be able to watch it anyway. I pay enough money for cable and internet already it's crazy stupid to have to pay even more to get this service. So I won't even get to see it. |

Hey Henry. Did you decide to root for the Vikes tonight or BRAND X? I will root for a good game with a good ending. We all know the game means much for CSU than Xavier as far as the fans go but who knows with the players. May the best team on this day win. |

Was a great game but those last 2 offensive rebounds and scores for Xavier is going to be the difference. Refs didn't call many fouls either way in the 1st half but they sure called a ton in the 2nd half.

Why in God's name no timeout on the final possession. I feel cheated from a great ending damn it.
Great season. Great game by Hodge and Patton.

Rough ending but 8% from 3 normally won't get it done and CSU had the ball down 2 with 15 seconds left with a chance to win or go to OT. I thought 100% sure they would call timeout I don't believe Patton was even in the game.
Also watching tonight shows you how absurd it was that vs PFW they never played Hodge and Patton in those OT's.
I hope a lot of these guys come back especially Hodge I would hate to complete start from scratch.
It really looked for a while tonight CSU had a great shot to win was up 7 at 1 point but the foul parade began and Xavier knocked down a decent amount of FT's and those 2 rebounds when they were up 3 and scored to get it back to 5 really hurt.
The team fought the best they could with their limitations. Some great drives and tough scores tonight for Patton and Gomillion.
Would have loved to see a last shot go up at the end make or miss just to have a great ending but they fumbled and kicked it all around the building.

Sad that the worst officiated game of our season came in the NIT. Makes sense I guess with any good official assigned to the NCAA. That was brutal. John Floyd is always garbage. One of my least favorite after Bo Boroski (who thankfully we never see anymore). But that was all around terrible. Don’t get me wrong, there were bad calls both ways. I bet both teams and both team’s fans think they got the short end from the refs. They were just making WTF calls left and right. An embarrassment to the profession.
With that off my chest, a sad ending to a fun season. The guys fought it out like they always do and just didn’t have enough. Being in the double bonus with 11 minutes to play was hard to overcome. We just couldn’t get enough stops without fouling to maintain a run.
Patton had it going in the 1st but I thought he tried to do a bit too much in the 2nd which led to some turnovers. I thought he was blatantly fouled on a couple missed layups too, but I’ve already touched on that. I wish we could have found a way to get more 3 point looks for Hodge, he seemed to have it going late and we needed it. Spider played like a senior who didn’t want to take off his uniform for the final time. It’s been a lot of fun watching him develop, I’ll miss watching him play. Tre Gomillion made some clutch plays too but was a little loose with the ball today. A few less turnovers or a couple calls go our way and we could’ve pulled this one out.
Now it’s on to an uncertain off season. With so many seniors and a potential coaching change, we may have an entirely new team next year.

I could not understand why Gates did not call time out as soon as they crossed the time line. down by two, with 15 seconds left, a play needed to be drawn up to tie or win. Unbelievable, what a way to end the season.

Spider has another year of eligibility unless he transfers or chooses not to use it Good call. I mixed that up. But with Gates a question to return I wouldn’t be surprised if none of the Covid seniors are back. Would depend on the new hire. Some will have better options and some are like 25 and might just be ready to move on. |
