The hilarious thing is that I forgot that game even happened until well after all the games in the real tournament were done. Like I only just checked the score a couple hours ago. "Oh I wonder how Washington did. Oh they demolished Northwestern. K whatever."
The NIT is such a depressing wasteland of college basketball.
I can kind of root for Gonzaga but it's not really the same. All I can really do is root for exciting games and intriguing upsets.
