NIT Round One: Alabama 54 - Creighton 72

Welcome to the National Invitation Tournament, a tournament where one team gets to play on their home court again and the other team realizes the folly of their season and gets to play a true road game. Other than the lack of any promotional material during timeouts, the NIT is void of neutrality as the home team gets to bask in the glory of their fanbase during a relatively meaningful post season game. It's like when North Carolina gets to play in Greensboro or Kansas gets to play in Kansas City.

Tonight, we witnessed Creighton straight up ball-out in front of a measley 6,305 fans who cared enough to show support for their hoop ball team.
