Irvine is a fun team to watch. They stayed composed even when they were down big in the first half. They are disciplined, confident and well coached. I sure hope they can bring the title home.

Can't disagree but it was no fun watching those guys beat the Aggies

Chattanooga beat Loyola of Chicago 80-73 and will play Irvine for the NIT title at 6 pm on Thursday.

Nuts, I won't be able to watch the game live, because I need to help my brother in law. Plus the Warriors-Lakers game starts onky an hour after the NIT final.

Chattanooga 38 Irvine 37 at the half. Good basketball by both teams. Myles Che played his freshman year at Chatty before transferring to Irvine.

Overtime, but not without controversy.

Horrible foul called on Myles Che when the Chatty player kicked his leg out to the side while shooting a 3 and hit Che who was running by him and Che got called for a 3 point foul.
The Chatty player made all 3 FT's to take 2 point lead with 16 seconds to go in the game. Luckily, Che got fouled shooting a 3 with 13 seconds to go and tied up the game.

Man, Irvine had what amounted to a layup to win in at the buzzer and the guy missed. Man that hurts.

Chatty wins 85-84 in OT. God, what a horrible way to lose. Jurian Dixon had a wide open, point blank shot but he didn't use the backboard and missed the shot at the buzzer. I feel sorry for the young man.
