Creighton, who averaged almost 16,000 during the season, drew only 3,824 last night.
Missouri State, who averaged almost 7,000 during the season, drew only 3,015 last night.

Unfortunately, these 2 MVC teams will meet in the semifinals of the CIT Wednesday, so only 1 will play for the title. The other semifinal will feature Pacific and Appalachian State. The championship game will be Tuesday, March 30.

Note-
Bradley never drew less than 4,472 for any of their CBI or CIT games, and never drew less than 5,007 for their second round games.
Here are the attendance figures for Bradley in the CBI and CIT-
CBI 2008-

Though the CIT doesn't seem to draw much interest, it's still interesting to see Creighton and Missouri St. get better. Both these teams had a lot of new faces this year, and should be in the top half of the Valley next year.
Missouri St. seems to be the best Valley team in Assist-TO ratio.
Will CU extend its streak of 20-win seasons to 13??? 2 to go.
