Watch part of Chattanooga beating Loyola last night in the NIT semi-final.  I recalled our being in the same spot in 2016, beating BYU to advance to the final. It just isn't the same for the players or fans when the game was played at Hinkle versus The Garden.  Our guys got to dress in the Knicks locker room.  We played before 9000 fans in the most famous arena in sport.  Chattanooga and Loyola?  3288 in a gym with 15000 capacity. Nice win. It just isn't the same.

Competition is part of it. The 'Crown Basketball Championship' has pre-arranged deals with several of the big conferences.
