Play in game

[CoKane]

Lol. That's all I have to say

 

[CycloneErik]

It'll be even funnier Wednesday.

They literally were a Final Four* contender

*Final Four to be selected

I am contemplating picking Iowa just so I will be wrong.

 

[johnnydugouts]

fran will likely not even be coaching.

After Hampton, I want to be careful not to throw too many jabs. But did get a chuckle out of that one.

 

[GrindingAway]

It doesn't count as making the tournament unless you are part of the final 64.

If Tennessee does not win, Ill be shocked.

Im sure he will coach, but it does suck that his son's surgery is on Wednesday.

I seem to remember a bunch of hawkeye trolls in here last year saying they'd rather win the NIT than be in a play in game. Bwahahahahahah

Losers = got screwed out of a NIT 1 seed.

I really can't imagine a more deflating way to actually get in.

That's horrible. I hope it's a simple surgery with out compilations.

Probably better off for Iowa that way.

If you lose a play-in game, does it still count as making the NCAA tournament?

I hate the Hawks as much as anyone but do feel bad when a 13 year kid has cancer no matter who the kid is. I just pray for a simple and easy recovery with zero complications, as well as a cancer free life from here on out. Scary stuff.

He doesn't have cancer...he has, I believe, a benign tumor on a lymph node...but still scary.

Pray his surgery goes well. If they get it together, they could get to the sweet sixteen.

A play in game is like kissing your sister....no what, for EICC that's a very common event at their family picnics.
