I would love to see UND host a CIT game - here is one guys thoughts on bracketology. No UND in his picks. http://www.bankrollsports.com/blog/cit-bracketology/

Everyone knows about the NCAA and NIT. But, I did not know much about the two other tournaments. Here is a brief review (NCAA/NIT then - major conf schools go to CBI and mid major conf schools go to CIT: College basketball post season tournaments: NCAA – field of 68 NIT – this tournament has been around since 1938. Participating schools host games and has the final four team play in New York at Madison Square Garden. 32 teams are invited. CBI – College Basketball Invitational – This tournament started in 2008 and includes 16 teams. The teams are not seeded and hosting teams are determined based on bids. The finals are a best 2 of 3 format. Past Champs: 2008 – Tulsa over Bradley 2009 – Oregon State over UTEP 2010 – VCU over Saint Louis 2011 – Oregon over Creighton 2012 – Pittsburgh over Washington St. Past Champs: 2009 - Old Dominion over James Madison 2010 – Missouri St over Pacific 2011 - Santa Clara over E. Ten St. NOTE: UND lost in 1st round. 2012 – Mercer over Utah St. NOTE: UND lost in 1st round.

This is a fast pace game... wow.. Huff with a floater...

Nice ball movement - getting the bigs in foul trouble - Brekke - banked in a FT

anderson backdown cut - foul going to the line..

Schuler for two - UND 11 Weber 10

Wow - Weber has some shooters...

no kidding.... about 20 secs behind.. sioux sports is closer..

well, the offense is playing well - Wilmer two big dunks already..

Well, I have the game going but no sound.. others have sound?

So, what can we expect from the Weber St tonight? Are you guys up tempo or more of a slow the pace and grid? What must UND watch out for?

I am ready for the some ball, I am so ready for this game.. ..

Great game - looking forward to tomorrow's game..

It will be interesting to see how the AD handles the Denver fans. Here is one of the bloggers thoughts. It appears that he has already talked to several people associated with the DU Athletics Department. Overall, he has some interesting information. Some that supports Hammersmith comments above about adding sports. http://milehighmids.tumblr.com/ "If true — and the sourcing seems awfully solid — this is an utterly stunning development. When I learned yesterday that Denver was reportedly a front-runner to join the Missouri Valley Conference, I wondered if the MVC would ultimately pick DU, but it never seriously occurred to me that DU would summarily reject the MVC. That seemed, and still seems, absolutely insane."

I saw the MidCo sports is going to have a spring game special for all four schools.

Not sure about the intellectual honesty bit... I was being a bit of a smart ass and I simply took the comparison you provided. The crux of our exchange is that you think connecting flights are fine and I think that they are a pain. Light'n up, I still want to have a beer with you tailgating this fall.

Big Sky TV only... ESPN U has the finals on Saturday night.

I just looked at the map.. WSU to DU - 517 miles WSU to FU - 724 miles Yes, Denver is closer.. http://nsflight.com/Data/DEN.html Plus direct flights from CID, DSM, OMA, SFG, ICT to DIA would cover all teams except (ISU-B, Evensville, ISU-R, SIU) I am sure direct flights from IND, STL, ORD or BNS would be very nice. That is kind of my point. Denver is a direct flight vs FAR (Fargo). I would say the MVC talking to DU also proves my point that the MVC did not think DU was too far outside the MVC footprint. DU staying in SL is great for SL. I do think that the AD for DU will have several people reaching out to her to understand why they choose to stay in SL when DU approached the MVC about membership a couple of years ago.

So, according to Douple and Summit League - the MV has given an offer to Denver and Denver said "No". I can not wait to hear what the MV has to say - given well you know what I am talking about..

Coach Jones talked about that in his weekly press conference. I would think that they would have a chance, plus they have played well in the two previous appareances. It is senior day for UND B-Ball I hope they have a great crowd for the team.

Getting above .500 important for CIT bid if they do not make it to the dance.

hardly... much easier and shorter travel to Denver. Plus it would be a good recruiting ground for the conference and a nice large market. No comparing FU to DU.

I hope that the speed for Carr and Finley translate to plays on the field this year.

You can not be serious... nobody in the MSP media is not a homer... I will always remember how the media went on and on and on and on and on about Zajac's hit at the final horn several years ago. Then three weeks later a Gopher cross checked a guy well after the horn in a Denver game. No reply no comment.. just them saying Minnesota captain serving a two minute penalty for cross checking at the end of the second period. No post game analysis, no Gorg going on about how dangerous it is and how cheap the hit is.. MSP media are biggest group of in the bag homers you can find.. Hell, most Gopher fans I know admit it..
