And then we kidnap RayJ.

You’re correct. 1984 was the last year of the 32 team bracket. I was at Bill Frieder’s basketball camp the summer after we won the NIT and us campers sat in the north end of the court as Antoine Joubert addressed us. He flashed his NIT ring which was met with some muffled jeers from us knuckleheads. That 84 squad was really good though. 32 team field is brutal.

That’s a step in the right direction. After the season ticket holders had their chance, they should sell the remainder for next to nothing. Make it a Fan Appreciation Night. What we don’t want are 3,000 fans scattered throughout Crisler on a chilly Tuesday night. At least it’s not a 9pm tip.

I expect the curtain down and a few thousand people. It’ll be bottom up though so won’t be “scattered” as much,I suppose.

Some might sit out an NIT game to preserve their draft stock, others might hit the portal on game day:

He was their designated JAS. 36% from 3 on 205 attempts, only 30% from 2 on 60 attempts. Looks like his minutes started to dwindle toward the end of the season.

Yeah, I am just impressed that he entered the portal the day of a game :rofl:

Yes, it’s definitely, as the kids say, a choice. (I probably used that wrong)

“Good luck, suckas, peace I’m out!”

And if it means that Vandy loses to Yale because they have no outside game, then I am all for it!

I have supported the bowl game sitouts but I don’t support this. This is low

Maybe the guy decided that he didn’t want to run lines any more this season.

Any word on Jett today? I heard some rumblings he may be out due to opting to let his ankle heal. Haven’t seen any other corroboration (although haven’t looked for it either), so I took it with a grain of salt.

But he prayed on it.

It’s a horrible look, and frankly, an eyesore for the program, but I guess it’s the world we live in these days. :disappointed_relieved:

if Jett sits out I will have some major thoughts.

Well…me, too.

To be fair to Jett, he’s been playing hurt for a while. I have no inside info, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t play at all.
