Hearing a rumor that we're hosting on March 15. Apparently its out there in the Twitterverse... can someone with Twitter access at work substantiate this?

If true, I'm happy with it. Will be interested to hear the explanation for the change of heart.

Tix $10 and students get in free compliments of Coach Jake as a thank you to what they did for the team this season....this according to my parents who were at the press luncheon

The University of Northern Iowa announced today that the Panther men's basketball squad will participate in the CollegeInsider.com (or "CIT") postseason tournament, in a home game on March 15. UNI will find out its opponent when the CIT field is finalized, on Selection Sunday.

The CIT is a more affordable venture from a hosting standpoint. But, really, the decision on which tournament came down to Jake's preference;

Do we know where this will be televised? I will be at the game but just curious about who will be carrying the game.

Do you think Jake tries playing underclassman, or stick with K-jo and the remaining seniors?

Is this during UNI's spring break??

Yes, it is during break

glad to hear it. Kwadzo deserves a better last game than what he went through this past weekend.

That is incredibly classy/awesome, if true. Hopefully, we can pack that thing.

I know that it's not quite the NCAA or even NIT berth we were all hoping for, but I look at this as a good opportunity for the team and seniors to finish on a high note and get some more playing experience for our underclassmen.

I hope we get matched up against a team without much of a post presence, for obvious reasons.
