You know what else it deserves? Promotion.

I'll be surprised if we draw over 4K.

There is no excuse for the students not coming out in full force. Free tickets and a tournament basketball game on a Wednesday night.

Do they not have Pep Rallys for basketball like they do for football? Seems like tonight would be a good time for one.

For any of you out of town Cajuns, it looks like the CIT has set up some free video (I think) streaming of all the games.

This video really gives some good perspective from recent teams that participated in the tournament, such as Old Dominion which won the 2009 CIT and the following year had a great season and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in which they won their first round game.

We really can't underestimate the role this tournament can play in the future of our basketball team. If we perform well and win a few games or possibly the whole thing ( which I firmly believe we can ), then it will only provide a launching pad for success into next season in which our team will believe we have a purpose to fulfill more-so than just starting a new season from scratch after a first round loss in the Sun Belt Tourny.

I'm really pumped about this game tomorrow night! Hope to see everyone there!
