    The CBI field is horrible, but we can only blame ourselves....

    I finally saw the CBI field for the first time this morning, and I really don't know how you can validate Cincinnati being in there, along with some of the other teams like Richmond or Old Dominion.

    But with that being said, if we win at least two out of the three games we lost at home we shouldn't have lost (Nevada, Iowa, and Illinois-Chicago), we have 20 victories and a possible NIT spot. We had no business losing those games.

    Please don't take this an an anti-Jake rant or as a call for him to be fired. We did just post our fifth straight winning season, which is something that no other Division I team in the state can say. I remember when I went to school back in the '90's that fifteen wins was a cause for celebration.

    Just disappointing to me as a fan that we couldn't win the games we obviously should have won at home.

    I dont think anyone would consider your statement an "anti-Jake" rant. The players and coaches realize as much as anyone what they left out there on the table. Beat SDSU & Iowa and you are playing in some form of post-season ball. Not to mention that those two wins meant a better RPI, a better Bracketbuster match-up (a tv game, perhaps) and more inspired play against who ever would have been there in place of UIC.

      We could have been in the CBI if we wanted to. All we had to do was pay them $60,000 like Bradley did and you were guaranteed a home game.

      There was no way we would have covered that cost at the gate. That means we would have had to have 4,000 people at $15 a piece. Wasn't going to happen, especially during Spring Break.

        Thank God we aren't playing in that tournament. That'd be embarrasing.
