One of the most exciting games I ever saw in the Dome was the 2002* NIT against Butler that went to Overtime.  I still remember moments from that game 15 years later.  I had amazing seats, and it was incredible to me how loud it got in the Dome with only 10k people or so.  Why?  The people who were there wanted to be there and were loud.  It was an awesome game experience and a great basketball game.

If I can get up and excited for a basketball game of former Syracuse also-rans in "TBT" in July for a title that is honestly meaningless, I sure as hell can get up for an NIT game featuring some good teams and some great basketball...even if I don't care about the banner if we hang it.

Obviously everyone is disappointed that we didn't make it.  But if JB and crew are patrolling the sidelines and the name on the uniform is still Syracuse, I'll still be watching and pulling for the guys in orange.   Sometimes it's easy to get hung up on banners and titles and all that, but it's the journey that matters.  If we play some good  basketball like I know we are capable of, I'll still enjoy watching.  But that's just me.  That potential IU matchup next Wednesday is exciting to this guy if we manage to get that far for instance.
