Is this the .5 poster?
Congratulations to Brown - a best of three in college for the championship? That's so ridiculous it might just be brilliant.

Expected nothing more from Jeff than a slight dig in this, our moment of relative glory.
Wheeee!!!!!!! We're going to... somewhere!
I'm very excited. Congratulations to the Brown hoops team!
Now, let's find out where I might be trying to finagle a last minute business trip...

Seriously Bruno. Stop. Where am I criticizing you or Brown? Feel free to contact me via a PM, otherwise, stop criticizing me for criticizing you guys.
I freaking love the idea of a best of three, it's out of the box cool. What else did I say that was a dig? Congratulations?

UVA, Utah, Ohio, and UTEP have announced CBI bids. New Mexico State and Alabama turned down bids. The tournament may be having trouble finding hosts who are willing to meet the guarantee.
Here is the NIT bracket:

Add Nevada, Richmond, and Bradley to CBI list. That makes 12 teams announced so far.

Brown gets Ohio (82 RPI). Winnable game, obviously, but shouldn't Ohio have gotten the 1 seed in that bracket and faced a 13-18 Cincinnatti (118) team letting Brown face Bradley instead. I'd wish you guys good luck, but to Bruno that's like saying Drop Dead.

I have to assume that they matched up to preserve the ability to hold a home game in Cincinnati rather than at Brown. This is about dollars, after all. Looking for "fairness" might be a stretch.

Hey, I'm sure it is about dollars, but the way I'm reading the bracket, Brown's the higher seed than Cincy, so I don't see how they preserved anything.

There appears to be no television for this game. Two CBI games each night are being televised on Fox College Sports Network, a cable-only network. However, the Gazelle Group, the CBI sponsor, is providing a link for internet viewing of games.

I'm excited enough to be counted as 1.5 all by myself.

As a Princeton alumnus, I am hoping for a best of three finals between Brown and Richmond, although that almost certainly would kill the tournament.
