Rumor: CIT home game, March 15 (?)

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

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?

How do they decide where to play the championship game? Highest seed in the final?

Per WCF Courier:

After the first round, the higher-seeded team in each matchup will host.

I like the idea of three more weeks of practice for the young guys (counting this week), four more home games and ending the year on a high note in front of our fans.

Creighton is in the CIT but will be on the other side of the bracket so the Panthers can only meet them in the final.

The Great West championship game will be North Dakota vs. South Dakota. Our first round opponent will very likely be the winner of that game.

If that is indeed the case, then go South Dakota! We have already hosted and beaten North Dakota this season.

I personally don't care who we play... I just am looking forward to watching more basketball and hoping we get to at least 20 wins!

If South Dakota wins they are going to Omaha...

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

Getting anybody to the game on a week night is going to be next to impossible. Hopefully they win and get a weekend home game. I wonder why they couldn't wait to start until the weekend? Is there a big hurry to play meaningless games?

Care to share your source?

I'm confused. Not an auto-bid conference, where the champ goes to the NCAAs?

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

The Great West Conference is a new conference and has to wait at least another year until the NCAA gives them an automatic bid. Supposedly the CIT has agreed to give them an auto bid until the NCAA does.

My source is geography. That is a really short bus ride...

I was just taking a look at this tourney and noticed you guys were in so I figured I would post.

In case any of you want a list Wikipedia has posted teams who have accepted bids to the CIT.

Good Luck in the tourney guys.

Can't wait to play you again next year in your house

Thanks, GoPanthers. Good luck to you too.

Great season this year. I was rooting for Milwaukee in the Horizon championship. I'll never forget their run in the NCAA Tourney in '05.

See ya next year.
