Tennessee Chatt’s Not So Prestigious N.I.T. Crown

The no longer prestigious NIT, now in Indiana, having abandoned New York, produced a below par basketball final game, with the manifestation, less free throw missing Tennessee Chattanooga, winning by one point, as a 3 plus point(s) underdog vs California Irvine.

Garrison Keeslar (not quite Garrison Keillor) hit the decisive basket, yielding the game’s last points, as 5 double letters “Chatt,” missed 2 free throws to go along with an Irvine turnover and missed layup as time expired.

It did not exactly bring back memories of past N.I.T. stars such as George Mikan, Pete Maravich, Larry Bird and others.
