Man, I dunno...... Point taken, but it was nonetheless the NIT..... I'd still say the 2002 team was bigger, but then again I didn't go to SIU, and I wasn't even ALIVE for the 1967 team, so I'll just take your word for it
I guess that leads to the argument of, would you rather win the NIT or lose early on in the NCAA's?
