According to RPI, #WeberState sits at 69, while East Carolina is 94. Last line had Wildcats 8 1/2 point favorite tonight.
 
Wow.

Great game. Tough loss for Weber. They played a great game other than their FT shooting. I think they were 9-19 from the charity stripe. Great atmosphere at the DEE..............

Although I'm sure you all are feeling sick right now, congrats on a great season though.
 
Arrrgh!! Heartbreaker!!!...but this group of Wildcat fans are PROUD of the Wildcat coaches & players :clap: That was a great college game, crowd, student section...luved it & those pirates arrrgh good, no shame in losing to them. FTs missed cost us a game that could have gone either way. Congrats East Carolina & look forward to seeing you next year Wildcats. Thanks for a great, fun season. Best wishes to "Bam" & "Mook" you brought us a lot of great memories...

Feeling sick at the end of big games is kind of what we do at Weber State. An unfortunate theme in Randy Rahe's tenure. Thanks for the kind words, though. :|
 
:coffee: :coffee: FIRST TIME ANY BIG SKY TEAM HAS HAD 30 WINS IN A SEASON... :coffee: :coffee: GOTTA BE PROUD OF THAT... :coffee: :coffee: UNBELIEVABLE ATMOSPHERE, LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT, EXCEPT THE LAST HALF A SECOND!!! :coffee: :coffee:
 
I am totally broken hearted....and I didn't even play. My heart goes out to the team. Great season! We'll use it as a springboard to bounce back & kick but all the way to the big dance next year and I should be back in game shape, too. I really miss making memories for everyone. So, until football season.....say Cheese! :grizo2:
 
Greetings from an ecstatic ECU fan! I just wanted to congratulate you on a successful season and a great atmosphere! The arena looked great on TV! The crowd was certainly into it. Both teams played tough. I'm sad that one program had to lose.

ECU's basketball history has been very very bad. This is our first 20+ win season since 1954. We've been the NCAA tourney only twice in history and both years were due to us winning the Conference tourney (both with losing records). Our coach is a former University of North Carolina player, and has now turned our program around. over the last 20 years, we've been a perennial 8-12 win team. But since he started 3 years ago, we've won 18, 14, and 23 games.

Our school is starving for basketball success in a state filled with great basketball teams. We have had the #1 top play twice and the #3 top play on Sportscenter over the last week since the CIT started. We had about 2-300 people show up at our airport at 5am to greet this team as they returned home. Our program needed this win and this Championship.

I know this loss may hurt but a 30 win season is an amazing accomplishment.

I wish Weber State and all its fans the best of luck in the future. You have a lot of Purple brethren here in the Eastern part of North Carolina!! Maybe we will both see each other again in the NCAA tournament next year!

Thanks for the kind words and congrats, it was a great game, sad to see it end the way it did, but it was a great championship game, you have a very athletic team, and one to be very proud of.

I always hope games like this would spawn future games between opponenets, would love to play ECU again.

Once again congrats on the win and good luck next year
 
I would like to thank you guys for providing such a great team and atmosphere for the finals. I think being able to win vs a 30 win team infront of 11k fans made this tourny much more special and noteworthy than if we had to go to Northern Iowa for instance. I knew it would take a great game by us to win and that was about as good as we have played. You guys really gave a lot of legitimacy to this tournament this year and made it special to win and I seriously mean that. You had a great team and I thought both teams really played a very high level of ball that looked wonderful on national TV. It was a war and the crowd just added to it and made it great.
 
Yes it was a great atmosphere and game. It showcased two terrific teams that played with passion and intensity. The Dee and the your fans made for a wonderful venue for the CIT Final. The game had just about everything you could imagine. Thanks again for indulging us it's been fun. Would be nice to schedule a home at home series.

Arrrrrrrrrrrg from Greenville .......


 
You ECU fans have been classy. Unfortunately the ESPN board was full of jerks. I seriously think we should call your AD for a return game at Minges.
