Glad I will be rooting for Jelly and his sidekick Ertel, rather than against them! Go Blazers!

Good Luck, UAB!

Glad to hear it, sorry y'all got hosed on the NIT selection.

Definitely rooting for UAB! Go Blazers!

It is complete bull**** that La Tech is not in the NIT. I am sooooo pissed.

I got UAB to the sweet 16, don’t let me down

Go Blazers!!

They don't like Jelly ?

What was hilarious about their reaction? The silence?

If I’m La Tech I’m very upset. Tech is a really good team.
Do Tech fans believe that Lofton stays are does he enter the portal.
Just curious

UH is just practicing their reaction when they get dominated by the blazers. They just don't understand what they are up against.

Appeared to be no reaction when UAB was posted as the opponent.

The whole "so when's your best player leaving for a better program" thing is kind of a rude question. Plus, it's just too easy to make a crack about who could make him a sweet NIL offer.

It looked like the C-list tournaments gave out all their invites before the conference championships were over, so for La Tech and UAB it was NCAA or go home (since the NIT is now NCAA- and therefore Cartel- owned). I don't know that either would have accepted, but it was probably never an option.

I think our C List tournament is still taking applications.

This is a tough matchup for UAB, would have felt better vs a team that's not as good on defense.

I mean, if the NIT wants to sell any tickets they need that huge road draw...

Absolutely agree.

I don’t see what’s funny, either. They cheered when they saw their name but that was it. I don’t think they cared one way or the other about playing UAB.

As an outsider, I agree. When I saw the title of the thread I was expecting some great locker room material, like them jeering, laughing, etc. But in reality, it was a big nothing burger.
