Championship
I may have been born in Wichita, but my team in tonight’s NIT Championship game is from Alabama. The game between Wichita State and UA will be played in Madison Square Garden and televised on ESPN2 at 6PM Central. Hopefully the Tide will become one of only 3 teams to end the 2010-11 season with a win (the other two being winners of the NCAA and CBI tournaments).
Roll Tide!

Coach Anthony GrantChris Stewart: "You've got your hometown team coming up." Anthony Grant: "I'm from Tuscaloosa now."
NIT Bracket
It can be very hard to keep up with the NIT tourney since it’s not the “Big Dance”. This page on ESPN shows the bracket with game results and links to the teams and game recaps.

This was the last time that Alabama had an opportunity to win the SEC regular season championship.
BBall Iron Bowl Rd2 – Game day
The Tide celebrated a little too much in the final minutes. Seldom-used reserves Jason Reese and Shawn Taylor were both whistled for technical fouls for hanging on the rim, and even Gottfried couldn’t restrain a grin after the 6-foot-2 Reese’s dunk.
