What a great shot. But I'm still getting over the fact there is such a thing as the CIT tournament.

Crazy.

Re: Full Court Buzzer Beater in the CIT

woooow, how long has the CIT been around? That was a great shot on the other hand, you do not see shots like that too often.

I saw this on ESPN last night, pretty awesome shot.

woooow, how long has the CIT been around?

I think this is the second year.

This is the first year of the CIT. 2nd year of the CBI.

Just how many post-season tournaments do they have now anyway?

I saw that Oregon State was in some type of post-season tournament and they have a 15-17 record.

That's ridiculous!

It's getting to be as bad as college football with all those goofy bowl games featuring teams that have no business playing in the postseason.

Really? That's pathetic.

Yep and that was after winning a game or two in the tourney.

It's getting to be as bad as college football with all those goofy bowl games featuring teams that have no business playing in the postseason.

There are four tournaments: NCAA, NIT, CBI, CIT.

129 teams out of the 340-some D-I basketball teams now make the posteason. I agree that Oregon State had no business being in the postseason, there were other teams that were more deserving (but may have turned down bids to the lesser tournaments). It's still not nearly as bad as college football where you have roughly half the FBS schools going to a bowl.

Success in the CBI or CIT really doesn't mean a thing, but it's a good way for schools to extend a decent season and try to end it well. It also gives the fans more games to watch and younger players a chance to get more experience. I see no problem with it.

That being said, with Bradley going from NCAA to NIT to CBI to CIT in the last four years, I'm ready to see them move back in the right direction as far as post-season tourneys go. I don't mind the CBI or CIT but they are definitely not tourneys I would want to be involved with on a regular basis.
