    Re: Rumor: CIT home game, March 15 (?)

    Does the CIT have a requirement that teams have to have a .500 record or better? At 10-23, South Florida doesn't deserve a spot.

    Not to mention that I thought the CIT was exclusively designed for "mid-major" teams not in BCS conferences. South Florida could be 23-10 and still wouldn't be invited to the CIT under my original understanding.

      Personally I like the movement to shed the mid major label. So I would say bring the big east teams like depaul and providence and south Florida on. BTW I think south Florida just beat villanova yesterday in the first round of the big east tourney.

        Wow, South Florida getting in would really demean the tourney at 10-23. Maybe it was USF (San Francisco, 15-14 with a 124 RPI) or Florida Atlantic (19-10, with a 112 RPI) instead?

          Has ISU officially stated they wont play in the CBI or CIT? Player quotes after the game indicated the season was over. They finished .500, they fought hard and have an RPI of 137. Not saying they "deserve" it but certainly seem to over USF.

            Sean Keeler tweeted after their loss yesterday that their season was done and there would be no post season play for the Cyclones.

              Also mentions that Creighton and E'ville are in the CBI most likely. Most of what I linked have links to other internet sources confirming such suspicions.

                My guess is we get South or North Dakota if they win.

                  Hawaii will be hosting and playing Portland in 1st round

                  And then there is talk that South Florida might be looking at the CIT...per other twitter sources.
                  Surprising Hawaii gets to host. Wonder if they have to pay 2x hosting fees. Travel expense to Hawaii these days... crazy expensive

                  Also the tweeter cited has Air Force hosting
                  "Air Force has reached an agreement to host a CollegeInsider.com tournament game next Tuesday "

                    Too bad Air Force is hosting too. Would be nice to play them. What are we, 5-0 against the Mountain West the last couple years?

                    I agree with PTTB. We'll most likely be playing South/North Dakota.

                      If we win do we get another home game? or is it to early to tell. I would go to a second round game just not really ready to drive up to see us pound south dakota.

                      I am thinking we might be able to win this thing. We must be a favorite. That could be fun. Winning no matter what is always fun.

                        I've read internet rumors we would be one of the top 4 seeds which would mean a second round bye with a win.

                          The opponent wont be bringing any fans out for this first game, thats for sure. But, I like the idea of being one of the top seeds and possibly getting 2-3 more home games once students are back in town. Thinking way too far ahead but advancing to a championship game of any kind should mean we'd have no problem drawing 5K+ I would hope.

                          Anyone hear about ticket sales?

                            North or South Dakota would have to win their tournament to get in, and Utah Valley ran away with the regular season in that league.

                            Evansville is also hosting, I would think that Austin Peay is a lock to go there. Just by pure geography, my guss is we aren't getting an opponent from anywhere around here...

                              Is Evansville hosting a CIT game or a CBI game? I've heard rumblings of both. Which tournament are they in?
