Games I watched some or all of.

NCAA
1. Clemson dominated UAB. The Tigers were bigger, quicker, and faster. No contest.
2. UNC-Asheville squeaked by Ark-Little Rock in OT. Little Rock's best player fouled out prior to the OT.Great game for Asheville's Matt Dickey who scored 22 points and hit a game tying 3-pointer to send the game to OT.

NIT
1. Kent State overcame a 12 point deficit on the road to defeat St. Marys. Kent State executed a beautiful pick and roll play to get the lead with under 5 seconds left. St. Marys executed a brilliant play to get Mickey McConnell a layup, which he missed. Heartbreaking loss for the Gaels, who were 11 point favorites.

Funny Clemson dominated inside, because all year in the ACC they got dominated on the inside. UAB has to be one of the smaller teams in the tournament for Clemson to do so well on the interior.

Saw UAB hit 7 first half threes they only scored 27 first half points.

I went to the 2 games in Dayton, the first game was awesome and the UAB Clemson game was a snoozer, Clemson was just so much better. How UAB got in the tournament was beyond me.

And the impartial refs didn't call a foul on Grant every time they drove into the paint. It was a thing of beauty. Only 4 fouls by our starters.

Yeah, the first game had me pumped up about two nobodies where the winner earns the right to get smushed. The second was just dull. It seemed like every play was "UAB screws something up, Clemson in transition, POINTS!"

If Brownell continues to be successful OT33 I think he will get those calls come ACC season (at least against teams not named Carolina and Duke)

^^ I agree with you. He plays the type of Bball to get the calls as well. I just hope we hold on to him because I think he is a very good coach.
