Your N.I.T. Announcing Schedule- Round One (With Bonus CBI And CIT Brackets!)
Monday, March 16, 2009
I honestly had no idea that there are actually FOUR postseason College Basketball tournaments now. I, of course knew about the N.I.T and the newly formed C.B.I., but apparently there is also a C.I.T. Who knew? Well anyway, here are the schedules for the, now three, "consolation" tournaments. The N.I.T. will be on ESPN as usual so I decided to throw the announcers on there as well. Oh and just a reminder, your last chance to catch Erin Andrews in a College setting, will be tomorrow night during the play-in game. Onto the schedules....

Cronin stated last week if they didn't get invited to the NIT, they weren't going to the CBI or CIT.
Huggins must be laughing. Let's see we will not continue to play games. We don ot want for our players to learn how to redeem themselves in the face of adversity. Cronin's a moron.
Exactly. What does that say to your alumni/fanbase? We're quitters!!!
Cincinnati is so irrelevant now, it's kind of shocking to tell the truth.
Nessler and Dykes are my men; they are listed to be at two different sites on Wednesday (lol)
What about LaSalle and St. Joe's? BTW, the CBI has moved to InHD while FCS, which had the CBI last year now has the CollegeInsider.com turney.
your last chance to catch Jeannine Edwards in an Uncomfortable setting will be tomorrow night
/If she's on the UNLV-UK sideline'd
Sean McDonough will call Miami/Providence.
Not only does St. Mary's get snubbed, they don't even get a #1 seed in the NIT.
Yeah, Truth, I'm not a Cronin fan, either. Decent recruiter, but in over his head coaching in the Big East.
Was Cincinnati invited to any of these? How hard did they fall?
