Hey Coach....I think the game is at 8pm central (Peoria) time. I have TelStar cable and ESPN shows it at 8 central. So does the NIT bracket in your post.

Go Sycamores!

Yes, thanks for finding that. That game is at 8:00 Central, and starts at 9:00 pm in Terre Haute (Eastern Time Zone). It is on ESPN and the ESPN+ app.
 
I'm following this incredible game between Indiana St. And Cincinnati! The posts are saying the hulman center is electric!!!! Wish I could have been their!!! This will be heartbreaking for the entire Indiana communityof Terra haute if they don't pull this game out!!!!!
 
Indiana State beats Cincinnati 85-81 to advance to the Final Four of the NIT
Stats- https://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcast/?id=524768

After shooting just 38.5% in the first half, Indiana State shot 50% in the second half, including 8-17 from three, and had just 2 turnovers to overcome a hot shooting Cincinnati team. Avila, Kent, Conwell, and Swope all played terrific for the Sycamores.

Indiana State will play the winner of tomorrow night's game between VCU and Utah in the semifinal on April 2nd at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

A great win for a mid-major against a power conference!!! The sycamores earned home Advantage and they took Advantage of this so important part of College basketball!!!! So happy for them!!! I hope they can win it all!!!!
 
Do I have this right? So far in the NIT Indiana State has beat the Big East, the Big 10, and the Big 12. Maybe not so big after all.
 
Was reading all the oddsmaker sights and everyone I read took Indiana State giving up the 3.5 points! They covered by half point!!!" My final recognition is that Indiana State is like America's team!!!! They have Avila and such a fun team to follow and root for!!!! They are elite from a marketing perspective on top of being a really good team!!! They are making the Missouri Valley look so special!!!! I'm so proud to be rooting so hard for a special mid-Major team from the Valley getting its now fair share of recognition!!! Very few prognosticators saw them being this good!!! They are the story to remember this year and with them now in the NIT semi-finals, this tournament is drawing just as much attention as the other NCAA tourney!!! What a great story for America and the Missouri Valley conference!!!!
 
For me it's easy to pull for Ind St mainly because of what coach schertz has done coming from Div 2 and turning around a program that has not had success for a long time.The sad part is he will probably be gone once there season is over.
 
I loved a quote from Coach Schertz at the post-game press conference. After beating SMU, Minnesota, and Cincinnati in NIT home games -- including before a sold-out crowd last night -- he said "Now you know why Power 6 schools don't come here."

I wish we could schedule one or two in Peoria next year, but I'm not holding my breath.

They won't even play teams like Bradley at their place.
They might schedule an Evansville or Valparaiso, but even that is becoming rare after Evansville, the last place team in the MVC, who went 0-18 in the MVC, beat Kentucky in 2019.
 
The NIT Semi-finals is Set!!! Indiana State will face Utah and Seton Hall will face Georgia. I think we are all hoping for a 1 seed Indiana State to play a 1 seed Seton Hall!!! Both teams were snubbed by the NCAA committee! Although Indiana State I believe more!!!! I want to make 2 more comments: While reading about Seton Hall's Victory, it was noted that their 5 players elected to keep playing!!! The Article points to St.Johns Rick Pitino throwing in the towel before even asking his players a decesion!!! First off I'm so happy stuck up and sore loser Rick Pitino is not playing!!! Even though St.Johns has a rich NIT history, I hope he realizes the stupid decision he made!!! Cincinnati's coach could not even understand why you wouldn't give your team the opportunity to keep playing in March!!! Good for Cincinnati because they gave Indiana State top competition and all they could handle at the hulman center!!!! You want to play great competition and Indiana State Earned there way to Indianapolis!!!! I hope Rick Pitino regrets his decision but no matter, his team is off the Radar and I love that!!!! My last comment is Seton Hall played there game in a historic Gym instead of a big Arena and everyone it appears loved the Atmosphere of a 1300 seat gymnasium!!!! So I ask, why can't Bradley play any post season games at the Historic Fieldhouse???? How great would that be? Would they ever consider that again? Maybe it's just me and nostalgia getting the best of me!!!! Anyway, Go Indiana State at Historic Hinkle Fieldhouse!!!!
 
I want to clarify that Bradley's historic Fieldhouse is called Robertson Memorial Fieldhouse!!!! I was fortunate as a student at Bradley in the early 80's to witness games played their!!!!! The players sat below the gym and the intimate crowd was right on top of the action!!!! Talk about home court Advantage!!! When the fieldhouse first opened it sat roughly 8200. Then went to roughly 7700. Now with the latest renovations it seats a cozy 5000 fans!!!!
