The UL basketball team is planning to play in the postseason. Barring an unforeseen development, the 16-15 Ragin' Cajuns will host a CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament game Wednesday night at the Cajundome.
An official announcement on UL's bid could come as early today
Congrats to the team and Coach Marlin. They overcame a ton of adversity to post the first winning season since 2005. This is a nice reward for them. BUY YOUR TICKETS FOR THIS GAME!Quote:

I'm there!
i hope we win this first one in this tournament so we can finish better than .500
Turb, I'm not seeing this on the RagePage; and the RagePage I see on my phone is different than the RagePage here. ??? But please put this on the RagePage if it isn't already. Because...Quote:

Are these games televised? I am not sure about that.Quote:

this is definitely a winnable tournament, Here is the results from last year.
http://www.collegeinsider.com/tournament/2011.php
Here's who I have seen that have accepted bids to the CIT so far...
Coastal Carolina at Old Dominion
Tennessee Tech at Georgia State
Indiana State
Mercer
Oakland
Tennessee State
USC Upstate
Great West Tournament Champ gets an Automatic Bid (should be Utah Valley St.)
I know Tim Jankovic (coach at Illinois State...Go 'Birds!) has said if they don't get an NIT bid they would accept a bid to the CIT
They do the pairings geographic heavy, and we already know the Cajuns have a home game in store for them...I'm only guessing that based on our record we will be hosting a MEAC, Southland, or SWAC team in the first round
News report last night said Rice was a possibility. That would help with attendance. Didn't we play them recently?Quote:

I don't see why not. I think the university pockets all ticket sake revenue for hosting.
The championship game will air on Fox College Sports.Quote:

Add Manhattan, Yale and Fairfield to the previously posted list:
Coastal Carolina at Old Dominion
Tennessee Tech at Georgia State
Indiana State
Mercer
Oakland
Tennessee State
USC Upstate
I highly doubt students will get in for free. Most likely there will be a special student price for tickets.Quote:

AAU Coaches hammered Cajuns pretty hard?
- About removing players from the team?
What a shameQuote:

Contract has been signed. The Cajuns are officially playing in the CIT.
If AAU coaches are so closed minded or self-promoting enough...or whatever else should be used...to fault Coach Marlin for doing what needed to be done, then that's on them. He did what was best for the program...including the remaining players, which evidently those AAU coaches forgot about.
No TVQuote:

You may be right, but that attitude doesn't help recruiting. Ask Trent Johnson.Quote:
