Thanks, jon...I've got several Gator fans here at work to pimp...dbackjon wrote:Good luck to UMASS!
Because they didn't make the NCAAs this year, they all thought their season was over...
NIT is not worth their effort, I guess...

Well, when your team is the 2-time defending national champion, the NIT does seem pretty insignificant.Col Hogan wrote: Thanks, jon...I've got several Gator fans here at work to pimp...![]()

Re: UMass/Florida in NIT Semi
UMass comes back again...after being down by 9 at the half...to stomp the Gators 78-66
Once again, the Minutemen kicked up the speed from fast in the first half to Mach 1 in the second half...
They simply ran the Gators off the court...
Next up in the Final on Thursday is the winner of Ohio State-Ole Miss...
To those who wanted a rematch of last year's NCAA final (Florida/OSU)....SORRY....NOT!!!!!!

Re: UMass/Florida in NIT Semi
I was laughing last week about the possibility of a 2007 NCAA rematch in the 2008 NIT finals. I guess that's not going to happen now. Good riddance to the guy who screwed the Magic.

SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.
