I believe the CIT championship will once again be televised by Fox College Sports.

[Da Coach]

I checked the FoxCollegeSports channels available in Peoria on Comcast (FoxCollegeSports Atlantic, Central, and Pacific, as well as FoxSportsMidwest) and none of them are scheduled to show this game.

[LittleBrave]

Go get 'em Bears! Make the Valley semi-proud!
The winner of last year's CIT did pretty well this year.

[Da Coach]

I believe the CIT championship will once again be televised by Fox College Sports.

The pacific-Missouri State game is live on FoxCollegeSports-Pacific channel. It is channel 535 on Comcast cable in the Peoria area.

Missouri State leads Pacific 65-56 with 3:39 left in the Championship game of the CIT.

[BradleyBrave]

MSU is about to win their 24th game of the season. Not a bad 2nd year for Cuonzo Martin I would say. Didn't some people have them picked last in the MVC?

[Da Coach]

Final- Missouri State pulled away late and won easily-
U. of Pacific 65
Missouri St. 78

Note- Missouri State got to play every game in the CIT at home, while Pacific played all 4 games on the road.

[AZ BU Fan]

Rhode Island is giving UNC all they can handle and lead with 4:37 left.

It is amazing to watch NC Tarheels struggle to stop the mighty Rhode Island Rams down the stretch...

Must make Duke's success this year in the NCAA even more painful for the Tarheel Nation.

Wonder if UNC will be able to challenge Duke next year?

Whoa...I thought you and a couple others here have said these eieio tournaments do not have any meaning, and that wins compiled in these meaningless postseason tournaments shouldn't even be counted.

There was cheering when Bradley turned down the CBI and CIT (both invited BU), and now Missouri State wins the CIT. Hey, does everyone realize that MSU finished 7th in the MVC, 8-10 in conference, and behind Bradley and Indiana State?

If Bradley had played, and gotten 4 home games in a row, they probably would have won the CIT, and would have finished 20-15! And people here would be downgrading the accomplishment!

I was thinking the exact same thing haha!

I'm under Gag Orders.

I great number of extremely questionable calls allow UNC to beat URI in the NIT semifinal.

[MacabreMob]

UNC wins.

I consider it sorta controversial as an offensive URI player with the ball is tripped as time expires.... and no call.

Announcers remind us as it was a "Point of Emphasis" this year to call a foul EVEN if the foul was accidental to an offensive player with the ball and gets tripped.

UNC benefits from the swallow of the whistle.

For some reason, it appears Refs may have a tendency to call the last 4 minutes (and especially last minute) differently. They DON'T want to make a call determining the outcome of the game.
