It's an emergency edition of #GMGcast!
In the aftermath of the NIT win over LSU on Tuesday, March 19th by men's basketball, Zac Babb and Hank Dickenson talk with NIT Stu, a sports blogger at The Barking Crow and avid National Invitation Tournament fan. They discuss where his love of the NIT comes from, the opportunities it presents, recent changes to the tournament, and his connections to North Texas basketball.
That's followed up by a brief "Babbling with Hank" segment, where Zac and Hank talk about the win over LSU and look ahead to the opportunities North Texas women's basketball has in the new Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament.
