Congratulations go out to Illinois State as they beat Cleveland State by 11 down in Daytona Beach to win the championship game of the CBI Tournament.

Also, while we are at it, we should also congratulate Loyola-Chicago who beat Kent State by 10 and UC-Irvine who beat UAB in overtime to join Chattanooga and North Texas in the NIT semi-finals next week in Indianapolis.

Have to also mention that North Texas couldn’t host their game against Oklahoma State because their was a staff appreciation event being hosted in their arena. I can’t even imagine how something like that happens. There isn’t another place or time they can move the staff event?

Oh well – must get some sleep. The Sweet 16 is almost here!!!
