CIT Semifinals

(8) Illinois- 65, (5) Washington- 63 -- Another well played game by both teams, who were pretty much even statistically. Washington shot a little better from three point land, while Illinois was a little better from the line. The game ultimately came down to a Nnanna Egwu offensive rebound and putback right before the buzzer that shocked the home crowd and sent Illinois to the CIT championship. Jon Ekey led the Illini with 15 points and 8 boards, while Washington was led by Perris Blackwell, who had 16 points.

(3) Toledo- 76, (2) Washington St.- 56 -- The result of this game probably shouldn't be a surprise. In reality during the 2013-2014 season, Toledo was a 26 win team while Wazzou was a 10 win team. But you stick a team like Toledo in the very tough Big Ten Conference, and the result is a CIT berth. Nevertheless, it was over from the start, as Toledo led by 16 at halftime. You definitely can't call home cookin on this game, as Toledo shot made more free throws than Wazzou attempted. Toledo was 20-26 from the line, while the Cougars were just 9-12 from the line. Leading scorers: for Toledo, Julius Brown had 16, while J.D. Weatherspoon put in a double double with 13 points, 10 boards. For Washington St., Royce Woolridge and D.J. Shelton each had 12.

Our CIT final is (8) Illinois at (3) Toledo. These teams were in the same division of the Big Ten, therefore playing twice. Each won at home, which bodes well for Toledo, since they are higher seed and thus will be playing at home. This is the rubber match, so to speak, so let's see what happens.

CIT Championship

(8) Illinois- 86, (3) Toledo- 66 -- Well forget what I said about home court advantage for Toledo. The Illini were having none of it. After a close first half which saw Illinois lead by 5 at the break, the Illinois offense got hotter, and hotter, and hotter, which led to 56.1% shooting from the field and 50% from the three point line. Any chance for a comeback late was written off as Illinois scored the last 10 points of the game, and they are the 2013-2014 What If Sports CIT champions!

Tracy Abrams had 21 points to lead Illinois, Nnanna Egwu had 17 points and 10 boards.
Toledo had 2 double digit scorers. Julius Brown had 13 and Nathan Boothe added 11.
