its all over.

There are no more games for the UNCW mens basketball team.   And that’s really a shame.

They didn’t get into the NIT – which was expected.  They probably didn’t deserve a NIT birth, but when it came to the CBI - they got robbed.

For our out-of-town readers who haven’t been following UNCW – the CBI is a new post season tournament that is competing with the NIT.  They take 16 teams – all home games – and the championship is “Best of Three”.

After reading a lot about it last night – and watching how the site took FOREVER to release the brackets (see yesterday’s post) – I’m starting to think UNCW isn’t missing much.   This tournament seems like its got some problems.

But despite that: Old Dominion made it, UNCW didn’t.  That just doesn’t add up.  Both are in the same conference, UNCW had a better overall record, a better conference record, finished higher in the standings, went farther in the tournament and beat ODU the two times they faced off.  What more do they need to do?

So the shame isn’t really that they missed the post-season.  The shame is that they got completely jobbed by this new tournament.

i give up.

So I was hoping to be able to post on the website that UNCW either is in – or not in – this CBI thing.

But its now 1:30am and there’s nothing anywhere.  So I’m going to bed.

For the record the CBI page STILL says – BRACKET TO BE ANNOUNCED MARCH 16.  They must be on pacific time, because its now the 17th.

If they get in – great.  If they don’t – that might be for the best.  This tourney seems kinda bogus at this point.  What a joke.
