Didn't know much about Bancroft, IA, and for good reason...

Population around 730, part of North Sentral Kossuth school district I believe. And can someone tell me why they spell Sentral that way?

Re: Up Next: Weber State

Because it was a combination of the the North Kossuth district and the Sentral school district of Fenton Ia, now they have also combined with Armstrong Ringstead to form North Union.

Speaking of, I love some of the names these new districts have come up with.

Central Springs
West Fork
Clayton Ridge
Greene County
North Butler

West Fork

I actually would have preferred the name Rockwell-Swaledale-Sheffield-Chapin-Messervey-Thornton, it rolls off the tongue so much smoother, and would look great on uniforms.

If Bancroft was ever known for anything, it was probably baseball. They won a few state championships, produced a few major leagues, back when they were the Bancroft St. Johns Johnies. The only thing I know about basketball there is that in my dad's first game, they lost 44-2 but he did lead the team in scoring.

Re: Up Next: Weber State

Looking at Google Maps it looks like they have a really nice baseball field

For the questions asked about how the CIT seeds this tournament. This twitter conversation sums it up.

Ha, I still call them that. Can never remember the new name.

I went to the IlSU and Denver games and was able to pick my exact seats. What happened to that? I can't seem to find it for this one

Re: Up Next: Weber State

Someone shared THIS on the ESPN conversation board for this game. Mildly amusing.

Re: Up Next: Weber State

I'm glad were playing all these games at home but I wonder how much money we are losing on them or where Dannen is getting the funds from.

Actually, I found that quite amusing and apparently pretty accurate from what I can find in terms of actual criteria for making decisions.

So, how do they decide who gets to host games?

And where will we play next if we win tonight?

Re: Up Next: Weber State

If we win tonight we host the championship.

depends on the attendance. If more people showed up, then the athletic dept. might make a slight profit or at least break even. But as it is, they are probably operating at a bit of a loss. However, the travel teams probably operate at a loss too.
