Is a CIT Championship Banner Worthy?

[PTownHawkeye]

To paraphrase Elaine Benes (Seinfeld), I don't think the CIT is banner-worthy. But it is worth 1/2 or 1 page in next year's media guide.

Props for the Seinfeld reference!

I think that all of the teams we have played in the tourney have been quality opponents. I think it is worthy to have something in the arena that notes our participation in the tourney. As some have said, this could be done with a small badge next to the CBI and Commissioner Classic...etc.

Anybody have any idea what the CIT trophy looks like?

I saw some images of the CBI tophy from last year, not very awe inspiring.

I can't remember but did Tulsa do any cutting down of the nets type of deal last year. That may be a stupid question, but I'm just wondering. I'm also hoping to God we don't do anything of the sort.

IF we win that is....

I agree with you DC....great reference

The players and coaches have never given up and have won 3 tournament games against Division 1 teams. If they win they deserve a banner. Thanks for another 20 win season guys.

Could make for a nice urinal cake design

Great idea. If we end up getting 2 or 3 CBI or CIT trophies, can we trade up for an NIT prize?

I missed that episode of Seinfeld that talked about the CIT.

(kidding, me thinks I detect a sponge reference)

[Braves4Life]

yes it is worthy.

I think oakland may have been the best team we played all year at home. Including creighton and butler.

I also agree. If we get a banner put it up. Tournaments are no easy thing to win and deserve recognition (look at our record at winning the MVC Tournament ).

Regarding Oakland however, NOT IMPRESSED! They weren't bad -- kind of an UNI-light, IMO. We played mediocre against Oakland and awful against Pacific. Oakland would have finished between 3 and 6 in the Valley this year. They were nowhere near as good as Butler or Creighton.

We'd better bring the "A" game against ODU or we'll get blown out.

There actually is no trophy. Everyone on the winning team gets a 1st place ribbon.

Wow, sounds like a "band camp" or "4-H" kinda deal there.

On another note, I watched all three tournament games so far and a disturbing trend I noticed is that Bradley actually seems to be playing worse as they go.

Or maybe APSU was do to rustiness, OU was the better team (at least that night), and UOP was a hangover game.

No excuses for Tuesday.

If we win the CIT, is the accomplishment worthy of hanging a banner at the Civic Center in recognition of winning the 4th tourney of a post season?

I wasn't at a game this year to know if we gave ourselves a runner-up banner for the CBI.

ummmmmmmmmm......NO.

any tournament that has a .com in there somewhere SHOULD NOT HAVE A BANNER

[2bradleyfans]

College Basketball Invitational

no dot com in that name.

[BradleyBrave]

No, it is not.

College Basketball Invitational
