NIT: #1 Ohio State 84, #8 UNC-Asheville 66

I like this George kid a lot. Being a 6'5 man myself, I know the world is harder for me- but 7'7?

Gotta feel for his hardships they've been talking about. Actually one of the first touching stories I've ever boughten into.

I'd bet he could play pro ball- given minimal minutes to be a rebounder.

As far as our guys, we're doing exceptional. I really wish they would've given us a chance in the real tournament.

Impressive half. The more games we win in this rip off deal- the more pissed I get.

Not the tourney we wanted but since we're there I want to win it. We gave the committee too many reasons to leave us out. No one to blame but ourselves.

Nice to see the players giving their best and not just showing up, disappointed. They want to win and that's the kind of players I want on our team.
