Hoopsdude18 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I'd love to see either UNI or North Texas - both mid-majors with solid reputations. Agreed. The field for this tourney is shaping up pretty well. Either one of those teams would be a quality opponent. And it also never hurts for the Summit to get a victory over the Missouri Valley no matter the circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManiacAlum Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Add Idaho (WAC) and San Francisco (WCC) to the list - they will play against each other at USF. I've also heard that the following schools have been invited, but not yet accepted: East Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech, Furman, Marshall, Air Force, and Davidson. Air Force and Furman are locked in now, and there's also the Great West automatic berth- semifinals have Utah Valley vs. South Dakota and Houston Baptist vs. North Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOLO_Gold Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I'm going with UNT in Denton. Perfect location and a good match up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenj Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I like the Dallas area! Maybe SMU? Think that would be a good guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I suspect it will be someone in the DFW area.... UNT, SMU, TCU or TX-Arlington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcboy2000 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Maybe a few more upsets can happen in conference tournaments and we can get ORU vs Valpo... I would love to beat up on Valpo for old time sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenj Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Really like my SMU pick for Tues. . Very good match and they are much improved from the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Titan Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I like the Dallas area! Maybe SMU? Think that would be a good guess! When "darrenj" talks, people listen. Or, at least, this people does... SMU Mustangs in Moody Coliseum on Tuesday night sounds good to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUIsbig Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Agreed. Love idea of a Texas Game. SMU would be a fun game. If they won't play us in the regular season, perhaps this tourney could make them play us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTex Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 The CIT requires teams to be at least .500, and TCU and UT-Arlington are well below that. And if darrenj says SMU, I'm making travel plans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue82 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Air Force and Furman are locked in now, and there's also the Great West automatic berth- semifinals have Utah Valley vs. South Dakota and Houston Baptist vs. North Dakota Everyone likes the idea of a game in the Metroplex - which would be awesome. But we also have to consider the darkside possibilities - think of the irony of South Dakota winning the Great West and hosting their future Summit rival ORU. It could happen...

darrenj Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 HA! Don't quote on the SMU thing but i think it makes sense and they really try to keep teams pretty close. If so come on down 75 and we can meet for dinner before the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Titan Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 SMU has confirmed they are participating in the CIT, but on WEDNESDAY night, against "an opponent to be determined Sunday night". ORU's press release yesterday said we're playing on Tuesday night.

That may explain the early pairings. Looking at previous years brackets, I guess this tournament puts teams together mostly by location, I thought it may be like the Bracketbuster where there's an RPI element. With Northern Iowa and Air Force in the mix, add in one more Valley team (possibly Creighton?), and the fact that ORU got in early will hopefully keep us from the nightmare scenario of a 3rd trip to South Dakota in one season.
