Its a little odd to have a tournament with no ultimate champion.

Who is going to win the 2008 championship? 8 teams and two rounds doesn't work out.

I think they are making the assumption that each of the host teams will win the first two games, which take place at home I think.  Thus, only four teams actually make it to the semis.

It's the same set up as the other Chicago Invitational's, nothings changed.

MU will most likely get Chicago St. and (I'm guessing with this one) Mercer at home. MU wins both, they advance to Hoffman Estates.

MU then plays Northern Iowa (assuming they advance), and then the title game would be Dayton/Auburn (or third place game).

To answer your question, I'm guessing MU is the 2008 champ.

A little more on the Chicago Invitational

Written by: Todd Rosiak


Turns out MU will face Northern Iowa at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 28 and the winner of the Auburn/Dayton game on Nov. 29 in the Chicago Invitational, which is played at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Ill.

Also participating will be Bethune-Cookman, Chicago State, Mercer and Texas Southern.

All teams will play two games in the tournament. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. Tournament pass prices are $109 for floor seats, $98 for club level, $87 for lower bowl and $65 for upper bowl.

And in other developments, the Big East Conference announced today that Mike Tranghese will be stepping down on June 30, 2009 after 19 years as the league's commissioner. You can find a news release on the Big East's website.

Tranghese was a big advocate of MU joining the Big East when it expanded back in 2005, and had a great relationship with the late Al McGuire.

The first two years of this tourney had rounds 1 and 2 played at the higher 4 seeds' home court.  ( This year: MU, N.Iowa, Auburn and Dayton.)  The 4 higher seeded teams won the first and second round games ( no surprise) and played each other in rounds 3 and 4 at The Sears Center in the championship bracket.

The four teams that travelled in rounds 1  and 2 also travelled to The Sears Center to play in a consolation bracket. Therefore, both days at The Sears Center offered an afternoon session ( consolation teams ) and a night session ( championship teams).  All teams play 4 games.


Unless the format has changed, the announcement from MU assumes that the higher seeds will win their round 1 and 2 games. Based on the other teams involved, the home teams should win their first two games.

No question Marquette wins this little go around.

Wonder if Buzz will hang a banner in the BC?
