Missouri Valley Conference Wichita St. finishes 29-8

A good game to watch.

A lot of basketball fans diss the NIT - but I’ve enjoyed many NIT games over the years. You can see some good basketball.

Given the way Alabame played thru the tournament, I half expected them to win tonight. Their defense was stunning but Wichita State’s shooting won the day.

We’re Number 65!

As they left the court the Wichita State squad was yelling, “Were Number 69!”

Basketball is the only sport where the level of excitement goes down as the level of competition goes up.

A skinny high school kid hitting a three pointer is as exciting as hell.

A college kid hitting a basket from mid court is pretty exciting too. You don't see that very often either.

But an NBA player doing a layup shot when he's almost as tall as the backboard with a slight leap is so ho-hum routine.

They ought to raise the height of the basket as the level of competition moves up.

Another April Fools joke. Getting tired of these today!
