this line from the pjstar is journalism gold.... "the austin peay governors performed wednesday night at carver arena much like other governors in our state recently, making lots of costly mistakes and putting up a fight before being ousted in the end."
....being ousted in the end."
BU's attendance of 4472 was disappointing...the students are gone, there was very little time to publicize the game, and Austin Peay is not a well known opponent as Tulsa was last year...but
we still drew BETTER than a whole lot of games tonight....
Auburn drew only 4008 for an NIT game
Florida only drew 4350 for an NIT game
No other CBI game except Wichita drew even near as well
None of the CIT games was even close either.....so BU still drew better than almost everyone else...
Is the CIT considered to be less good than the CBI?
I was under the impression that neither the CBI nor the CIT have any prestige value and were on equal footing.
I was also under the impression that Bradley chose the CIT over the CBI.
If people have an opinion on this I would be interrested to hear it.
Neither has much prestige nationally but they are chance to play more games. If you look at it like that, its a good thing I think.
