Don't remember if Deadspin had more details on the failed Nero NIT snub. Joel offers some interesting ones.
GW made the right decision on that one (Maltzman must have been attending a lack of awareness seminar), but backed the wrong dog in the fight, to put it mildly.
Interesting if anyone recalls anything from the administration side.
Now, on the hotel room thing. Maybe it would be something that the NIT paid for the rooms through the games. Think that may even be a tournament thing.
While ML posting it is good enough for me, I do have some memory of that night which jibes with Joel's. Obviously, I hung around the Garden for the award ceremony and cutting down of the nets, the exalting with other GW fans at the game, etc. But I needed to escort a relative to our hotel afterward. Later, I went over the GW hotel (Something like The Hilton, or possibly a Marriott on Broadway/7th rings a bell--but a lot has gone on in GW history since then).
I recall looking through the bars, lounges and public areas for anyone related with the team--and being quite surprised no one was there.
Seems like they were on the bus or readying for it.
