    • EL PASO, Texas ? The UTEP men's basketball team's game against Western Illinois in The Basketball Classic, scheduled for 5 p.m. tonight (March 15), has been postponed to Saturday at 1 p.m. due to travel issues for WIU.

    • I'm thinking they are trying to get more teams to participate.

    UMES (11-15) @ Coastal Carolina (16-13), March 16, 7:00 p.m. ET
    Merrimack (14-16) @ UMBC (18-14), March 16, 7:30 p.m. ET
    Morgan State (13-14) @ Youngstown State (18-14), March 16, 8:00 p.m. ET
    Southeastern Louisiana (19-14) @ South Alabama (19-11), March 16, 8:00 p.m. ET
    Kent State (23-10) @ Southern Utah (19-11), March 16, 9:00 p.m. ET
    Eastern Washington (18-15) @ Fresno State (19-13), March 17, 10:00 p.m. ET
    Western Illinois (16-15) @ UTEP (19-13), March 19, 3:00 p.m. ET
    New Orleans (18-13) @ Portland (18-14), March 19, 10:00 p.m. ET

    UTEP's Boum is the pictured star on the website.  I think we have a good chance of winning this.    On another note, the CBI would seem to be a stronger tournament and has MTU and Rice playing in it.

    First Round

    Game 1: No. 1 Drake vs. No. 16 Purdue Fort Wayne, Saturday at noon ET

    Game 2: No. 4 Stephen F. Austin vs. No. 13 UNC Asheville, Saturday at 2:30 p.m. ET

    Game 3: No. 2 Middle Tennessee vs. No. 15 California Baptist, Saturday at 5 p.m. ET

    Game 4: No. 3 Ohio vs. No. 14 Rice, Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET

    Game 5: No. 8 VMI vs. No. 9 UNC Wilmington, Sunday at noon ET

    Game 6: No. 5 Florida Atlantic vs. No. 12 Northern Colorado, Sunday at 2:30 p.m. ET

    Game 7: No. 7 UNC Greensboro vs. No. 10 Boston University, Sunday at 5 p.m. ET

    Game 8: No. 6 Abilene Christian vs. No. 11 Troy, Sunday at 7:30 p.m. ET

    • UTEP needs to start off strong with that jam to Onyema like they did against ODU.

    • So I guess there's not a bracket, they will assign the games as they go?

    • With Mtu in it I don't think Utep can win it. If anything if both go to the finals I think Mtu will get the pot of gold.
    There's a whole lot of teams with bad losing records, I don't feel this tourney is that good. It's just like the Tx vs Usa football game that was played in the SB, mostly mediocre players.

    But, I guess the Miner team wanted to play in it otherwise coach would have had other plans.

    • It?s true because it?s two different tournaments. Mid TN is in the CBI and UTEP is in the Basketball Classic. Aye Mojo. Que tonto.

    • If I understand, we don?t get to keep the gate but will get to keep concessions.  I have been of the opinion we could lower ticket prices and make it back on commission with bigger crowds.

    This game may or may not have a large crowd, but win a few and we will just like the ladies did.  Good data point for Senter to see what a larger crowd with cheaper entry does for concessions.  I am a lot more likely to buy a beer or two if I got in for $10 than if I got in for $50
