Big East Conference Results/ NCAA/NIT/CBI

[Herman Cain]

DePaul will move on to best of 3 series in CBI. 92-87 over Coastal Carolina. Will play LMU or USF.

If DePaul wins the CBI Series they will have achieved a 20 win season.

Does DePaul also pay BE schools credits for advancing?  0 for the Big East in NCAA credits.

DePaul paying to play in tournament. I think there are 5ish. 4 for games plus the one for the conference champion pool.

Help us, Obi-Wan DePaul ... you're our only hope.

Ners... Or Hermie,

I don't schwing with teal.  82 and I are bonded on our hate for that color.

It's a pay-in tournament, yet the finals is a best of 3 series? Seems like schools wouldn't go for that extra outlay of cash.

I have read that a couple of schools have actually made money on the tournament . The pay in is a guarantee and then there is profit sharing that includes some of the Tv revenue.

It is a good thing for DePaul to give kids experience of playing to win a title.

Lets see if the Blue Demons can steal a road win.

DePaul loses, 63-61.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Very good game. DePaul fought back to take the lead after trailing by 11 points.

Saw a great tweet by Ken Pomeroy over the weekend...it said "Remember folks, unless your school makes the Final Four, your teams season will end before DePaul's".

USF 39 DePaul 34 halftime in the CBI Final . Eli Cain injures his wrist in second game of series and is out.

[Herman Cain]

DePaul lost in the CBI final to South Florida . The Blue Demons finished the season 19-17 .  Their future  looks promising .

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Paul Reed could be real good for the Blue Rats next year. Strus was a good player and fun to watch but his decision making was often suspect.

Depending on your definition of promising. Compared to their last 20? years or so, sure.
