The CIT championship game is tomorrow, Tuesday 3/30, Pacific at Missouri State.

It appears it will be available by video stream. But I think there might be a charge for it.

Here is info about the CIT championship game-

When Kyle Cassity went to SLU a couple years ago - even the Billiken fans kinda though he was years away from being much of a contributor, let alone a main guy..many thought he should have redshirted last year.

And I wouldn't say he's their key player just yet, but he has played MORE MINUTES than anyone in a Billiken uniform - so he's really getting a good opportunity considering hardly anybody else in D-I even offered Cassity, who was a 6-4 forward in HS, a scholarship.

He has played 1133 minutes thus far this season and has started all but 7 of 35 games...
he averages 6.2 ppg and shoots 33% from 3-pt...
Considering he was recruited somewhat as a 3-pt specialist, those numbers are surprising - as is his 63.5% free throw shooting..
