Official NIT, CBI, and CIT thread

[Dolgevillefootballfan]

While most of the good people on this sports-forum will be focused on the NCAA'S, I have managed to secure a thread for the other postseason tournaments going on: the NIT, the CIT, and the CBI. Why am I doing this, you ask? Well, SOMEBODY has to look at them! So it might as well be me. I'll be back tomorrow to go over the tournaments.

So that means more room for desperate mid-majors, then.

So that means more room for desperate mid-majors, then.

read an article last night that teams have to pay $75,000 to play the first game in the cbi or cit cant remember which one it was. mid majors arent selling that many tickets especially if they have to travel on the road for games. i guess they have to weigh the publicity vs the cost, but seems like a losing endeavor to me.

Arizona is playing in the NCAAs AND the NIT?

 

[Dolgevillefootballfan]

First, a update from the CIT: N.J.I.T got their first ever postseason win last night 84-77 against New Hampshire.

Then, an update. It's Temple that's playing Bucknell, not Arizona. That was a bad mistake by me; maybe I was thinking about how Bucknell once beat Arizona in the NIT years earlier.

Well yeah no respectable program is gonna pay to play in CBI.

Everyone declines

Only time I can see it being helpful is if you have a young team that could use the extra practice time. Like going to a shitty bowl in football.

 

[BeaverShaver]

My church team just got a call from the CBI.

We declined
