How Would You Feel About the NIT for Diebs and This Team?Well, the guys played a great game and should have won. The ZEBRAS stole the game and probably the NCAA tournament from the boys. I’m sad for them. They got screwed. I think this team deserves more Bball with Diebler at the helm. They endured a lot this season.
