Deja Vu

Sitting on the end of the bench of our game on Friday "Deja Vu" was the only phrase that came to mind. The conference tournament has not been very kind to us the past two years. Everything went as expected in the early rounds and we got a rematch with UC Irvine. Irvine beat us badly in the Quarters of last years tournament and then swept the season series against us this year. So the third times the charm right?
Not so much folks. They had played two games in two days leading up to our game. We were coming in rested and as the number one seed. Irvine lead from wire to wire with a fairly comfortable seven point lead throughout the game. We made a run at them in the final three minutes but were not able to get over the hump losing 55-50.

Although our NCAA tournament dreams are over we are still in Post season play by virtue of our bid to the NIT. We find out who play when the NIT bracket is announced at 9 pm EST.
