Dayton beat North Carolina 69-58 to win its third NIT last night. It's always tough for me to see UNC (20-17, 5-11 ACC) win, so it was cool to see the Flyers (25-12, 8-8 A-10) pull it out. Dayton is a fun team to watch, similar to those Memphis teams John Calipari used to coach in that they always seem to be running and flying everywhere. So to summarize here are the champions of the "other" college basketball postseason tournaments:
NIT: Dayton (25-12, 8-8 A-10)
CBI: VCU (27-9, 11-7 CAA)
CIT: Missouri St. (24-12, 8-10 MVC)
Meanwhile the NCAA Final Four begins tomorrow! I'm so stoked! It's Butler vs. Michigan State at 4:07 p.m. and Duke vs. West Virginia at about 6:47 p.m. MT. Both games are on CBS as well as available on ncaa.com/mmod. It's really cool that Butler is playing only about six miles away from their campus. I'm watching ESPN right now and they have a live look at Butler's practice. There are a ton of people there; I would be thrilled to have this many people at a Utes basketball game. I'll have more on the Final Four later.
Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Shaun Rogers was arrested yesterday for attempting to board a plane with a loaded gun in his carry-on. Wow, how stupid is that? Seriously how can you let that happen? Even if he wasn't planning on doing anything, which I'm not totally sure of, you just can't let that happen. People are just dumb sometimes. I hope he gets prosecuted and gets a stiff penalty for this.
