In the first six-and-a-half minutes of Vandy vs. Belmont in the second-on-our-dance-card-but-first-in-our-hearts National Invitation Tournament in March, there were five three-pointers — including one by each team’s center — a breakaway dunk by the Bruins’ Ben Sheppard and a sweet alley-oop from the Commodores’ Scotty Pippen Jr. to Myles Stute. It was end-to-end action, with players diving on the floor and bodies flying through the paint. We’re on the record as saying they should play this game every year, and this game proved it — the city’s two best programs went toe to toe for 40 minutes, and it was entertaining as hell. Now do it again without a tournament committee making you.
