[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=black]I am at home this evening and watching ESPN. After an NCAA tournament special ended, a game came on….the quarterfinals of the NIT. A huge game between Wichita State and College of Charleston. I continued watching as they said the game was sold out, over 10,500 fans in the Wichita State arena to watch an NIT game.

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=black]Just two years ago, after a second disappointing season in a row. A season in which we had highs such as Jodie Meeks going for 54 points at Tennessee (Surely one of the many nails in old Bruce Pearl’s coffin). Lows such as a 13 point loss at Vanderbilt, which included Jorts getting banned to a bathroom stall and riding home in the equipment truck. After the season that was definitely a roller coaster, big blue fans were treated to a rare event. The Cats returned to Memorial Coliseum to play UNLV in the first round of the NIT.

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=black]For a game in a tourney that no Cat fan ever wants to participate, magic was in the air. The crowd was packed, raucous, and the energy was electric. Then, we all witnessed a dunk that was like nothing we had ever seen. Big “Purry” Stevenson threw down something so nasty, the crowd lost control:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Not only was that a monsterous dunk, love the way he flexed his bones at the end! I am a huge Perry Stevenson fan, and love his support for the Wildcats since he’s been gone. If you want some entertainment, make sure and follow Perry on twitter [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]@PSteve2122[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
