I was wondering earlier in the tournament what kind of celebration would unfold when the winner was decided. I like to think BU fans wouldn't have stormed the court if we'd won at home, but that's just me.
 
I laughed the minute I saw them storm the court, and I laughed a couple of minutes before when I saw the CBI trophy. I enjoyed watching Bradley play in the CBI, but it is what it is.
 
me and my buddy both couldn't believe that they stormed the court. I can say that in the heat of the moment, if we had done that at home, some of our fans probably would have, but I think it would have been a split crowd. A championship is nice, but unless it is the "big" one, I don't think storming the court is necessary, but hey thats just me...

Woody said it was OK......Mariotti kind of ripped it but not as bad as I thought.

I was there, and have to admit I was surprised when the students stormed the court.

I was going to watch the trophy presentation after the game, but after that over-the-top display of exuberance, I decided to leave.

You didn't miss much...the "awards ceremony" lasted a grand total of about 30 seconds. I was hoping they'd have something for the runner-up, but no such luck.

My kids love to "storm the court." So I had told them they could if BU won...don't know if any Braves fans would have joined us...
 
I was embarrassed for Tulsa when they stormed the court...almost as embarrassed as I am for those that watch Around the Horn. :) J/K, it's all about tastes; and I have no place to talk cause I listen to Boers & Bernstein. :p
 
Hated It

Hated It

I hated the fact that we lost the CBI. I had such
rich visions of a photo op with our Braves players and
coaches posing with a Weed-eater in hand. LOL I
know we have a sponsor Parker and Hannity's Lawn
Doctors that would just love it. Maybe it's not too
late. P & H , sorry if I butchered it. :) But thanks so
much for your support.

Yeah PTI is a lot better IMO. I wish Chicago would deport Mariotti. Or that Ozzie would get mad at him again. Hopefully Mariotti rips Ozzie for getting tossed today, and then Ozzie rips him back in terrible English filled with slurs. Ozzie's appologies are more insulting than the insult too.

The CBI was fun for the fans, but winning it means nothing. Just like winning in NCAA basketball on the Playstation.
 
K, I don't get it. We ended the season on a great run and with a win. 3 months ago I wasn't sure Tulsa would end with 17 wins or win a game in the C-USA tournament - let alone make a post season run into April. Only 3 teams end the season with a win and for the 3rd time we' were one of them.

Not too mention the series with Bradley was a roller coaster. Got blown out on the road, came back and it looked like the same thing. Then it was back and forth until the fouling started - which allowed time for the anticipation to build up. I would have been disappointed if they didn't storm the court frankly.

This was the first time Tulsa has had a reason to take to the court since 2003, and I'm glad the kids used it. After football games the crowd is welcome on the field, so I think we "storm" (meaning walk out to tell the players good game and throw a ball with our kids) the field more often than not.

Hey, it's "just" the CBI but whatever league, bowl or tournament my team plays in they dang well better play like it matters - because to a fan, it does. So storm away boys, storm away.
 
I disagree, Jesse. I can guarantee that we (our student section) would NOT have stormed the court after winning the CBI. We had joked around before the championship started about how foolish we'd look if we did it.. I'm sure others could verify this, but we made several jokes about storming the court and hanging banners from the rafters... The CBI was a great time, but it's not a time to storm the court. I just felt embarrassed for the students when they rushed the court...

Now, if we had pulled out the upset against top ten Michigan State on Dec. 4th, I might have made a break for it...
 
I understand what you all are saying, and I know you see this huge BUT right around the corner.... BUT, I would have stormed the court had BU won game one and then we swept the championship series in game 2. I wouldn't have even thought twice about it, and here's why:

1. I was in the student section when we were ALL ready to storm the court vs. SIU in the conference tourny title game and never got the chance to.

2. This would have been my (our) last chance to do it. and most importantly,

3. Why not enjoy the moment to finally celebrate with the players you have sat in classes with, watched play, and put their hearts into entertaining US and winning games for 2, 3, and 4 years? Think about it.. 75% of people who follow BU basketball would hate to see us celebrate (like 99% of other college students would...) DRINKING with the team! And another 50% would hate to see us storm the court. While I would prefer both ;) , let them (and US if we won) enjoy the moment and celebrate!

Bottom line is whether its the CBI at our home court or the South Padre Invitational in a High School gym on an island -- if we were lifting a trophy in the air and it had our name on it as champions, I'm celebrating.. On and off the court. Period.

I hope you weren't TOO ready to storm the court vs. SIU in 2006 because if I recall correctly, that game was all but out of reach with 10 minutes left. Either way, the comparison between winning a title to clinch an NCAA tourney spot and winning the CBI is not even close.
