30 years since the NIT title…

Feeling old, but just realized this is the 30 year anniversary of the 1992 NIT title.

While there’s always a letdown after not getting an NCAA bid, that was a fun run. And it was good to see Stith go out with a win, and the FR class with Cory & Junior get tournament experience.

Obviously hope this year’s team gets a bid, but if not, hopefully they would approach the NIT like the 1992 team did.

We also won an NIT in Ralph’s (and my) first year. He outplayed Kevin McHale in the final, if I remember correctly. It was a disappointment – but the next year, Virginia was in the Final Four.

Exactly, against Minnesota and Kevin McHale. This is a picture from a scrapbook I kept in the early 80’s.
