I think that Sly will still be in town for his one.

Hoping Jesse is better and can play the point for us.

Hosting a non conference DI tournament game may be a first for LU.

so wait is there any news on jessie?

Got an email from the ticket office, here's the quote:

Join us at the Vines Center on Tuesday night to watch the Men’s Basketball Team take on Rider (19-12) in the First Round of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. Sorry Couch Potatoes….this game will NOT be televised, so you better make plans to be at the Vines Center if you want to see this game!

[Champion]

Correct...this game is not being televised on any outlet. The only way to see this one is to be there. Too bad for all of the out-of-towners. I guess there's alwys the "live stats"

[Fumblerooskies]

Hopefully, the N&A will update the web site (have not since Saturday) so we can see Chris's article.

[Sly Fox]

It is disappointing that Fox won't let us produce the game and then take it under their exclusive rights contract. But that is how these deals typically work.

Yes, I'll see my first game inside the Vines in I don't know how long. I'll be easy to find as the guy with the loudest voice in the joint. Seriously.

Thanks for the info Sly....I am coming into town late this morning. I'll call you so we can go to lunch around noon if you are available.

[Sly Fox]

I should be on campus.

[TIMSCAR20]

I'll find you. Maybe we could eat in that area in LaHaye? I haven't been to the Cafeteria in years either. Your call.

[Schfourteenteen]

Your date will not be impressed with you if you take him to the cafeteria.

If he is nostalgic he might be but I get your point.

[absturgill]

I haven't been in there since the remodel but I hear the new cafeteria is real nice.

If we get past Rider, when would round 2 start?

This is such a Mickey Mouse tournament. No one has a clue about the seedings, no one knows when / where a next game is... this is a joke. I hope we're making bank from this.

[Cider Jim]

I wish somebody would organize a Flame Fans meet & greet luncheon with SLY & SCAR, while they're in town, at one of the area's Bojangles.

Well since it's the inaugural, that's kinda to be expected but I'm sure as the years go by it will get better and better.

The easiest thing in the world is to have a good website and they cant even do that...that's just being lazy and short sited

The joke is that you can't read. If you could, you would see from our press release that this tournament, the first two rounds, are based on geography. After the first round, they take the remaining eight teams and pair them based on geography and then seed them that way for the games after. Their website (the one everyone says is terrible) says this:

The CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament is a single-elimination tournament, consisting of four rounds, with the first three rounds being played at on-campus sites, which will be determined by seeding. The inaugural championship game will be played at an on-campus site to be determined by seeding.

The tournament consists of 15 games: Eight first-round games, four second-round games, two semi-final games and a championship game. In an effort to minimize travel and limit class time missed, teams will be bracketed geographically. The official announcement of the 16-team field will be made following the announcements of the NCAA and NIT fields respectively.

Then, on our website, it conveniently says this:

Quarterfinal games will be played on Monday, March 23
(Teams will be re-seeded based on geography)

Not that hard to figure out if you actually read the material that's out there.

[Hold My Own]

I think he's talking about the tourny and the way it's run being a joke...you found most of that info from our site and our press release...what about the general public who just wants to see some basketball?


But I'm just happy to be playing basketball, I can get over the fact CI.com's website is awful and that there is confusion from their end on how exactly this thing works.

I'll agree that the set up of the website is awful but the info is all there. you just gotta dig for it more so than with cleaner more thought-out websites.

[Hold My Own]

Ohhh i got it...the press room tab being out made me think what I was clicking didnt do anything except changing the photo on the side

Thats what i thought i sat there last night for 10 min trying to figure out how to navigate that site. very poorly laid out. but such is life with a new tourney. Not everything is thought out as it should.
