Rumor: CIT home game, March 15 (?)

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

Wish I could say it will be packed, but during spring break = not many students, and the average attendance this year = poor season tic holders/public showing. I hope I'm wrong...come on Cedar Valley/students...make me eat my words!

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

Clearly I can't answer this but in thinking about your question, I think you try to win it at all costs. I'm thinking of it this way... you could give major minutes to Rank/Pehl-type guys in one game and lose. Or you could give them the same (or slightly increased) minutes as in games down the stretch while riding KA to a championship -- and thus they get just as many minutes in total, but also learn how to play in a tourney-type atmosphere across multiple games.

This is probably way too early but can anyone speculate possible teams? Obviously we can all but guarantee it will be a midmajor.

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

I think I saw that Versus is showing these games.

On the CIT site it appears they have a relationship with Fox College Sports.

Beaton tweeted that the first round is unlikely to be televised...

The only advantage that the CBI has is that everything is shown on HDNet...

I just want to get at least 1 win so we can get to 20.

This is great! I wish it wasn't during Spring Break and wasn't during the women's tourny in St. Charles. I think we will be watching our ladies bring home a title, but will be rooting loudly in spirit none the less. Hopefully there are more rounds that I can attend.

Its two days after the women's tournament ends.and four days before the women's NCAA tournament begins...

If it's like last year, they only televise the championship game on CBS College Sports.

It's a good tournament. We rode the home games the whole time and got 4 wins, it was pretty cool.

Well, if you would have read my mind... I planned a business trip to Tulsa for later in the week since I was going to be in STL over the weekend. Maybe I can do some hard re-arranging and put in some serious windshield time to make it back for Tuesday night.

South Dakota
Southern Miss
Western Carolina

Not Southern Miss. They'll be in the NIT. Possibly UTEP, though. It would be fun to match-up against Tim Floyd. What about Iowa State? It's possible they could be in the CIT.

Go to your favorite site where you keep track of the RPI...start at number 100 and work down...that is where the UNI opponent will come from. The top 100 will probably be in either the NCAA tournament or the NIT. Let's assume those teams from #100 to about #140 will have a shot at either the CIT or the CBI "tournament".
At this point if anyone else has a thought on possible opponents...let's hear it.

wonder if a certain amish looking brute will be playing

don't know anything about his ankle situation, but I'd rather doubt it. Probably wouldn't want to risk re-injuring it and interfering with his baseball
