Playing at the exact same time unfortunately is the CIT final, with Illinois-Chicago at Northern Colorado (7 p.m., CBSSN). UIC has played just fine without forward Dikembe Dixson, who is not participating in the tourney after announcing he will be going pro, and we’re seeing in this tourney why the Flames-with a number of offensive weapons and tough defense when so motivated-were such an attractive team before the season. The Bears, meanwhile, have had a very nice season-25 wins coming into this one-and senior Andre Spight (40 points in the semifinals against Sam Houston State) is the type of scorer who can put UIC in retreat mode.
Meanwhile, the CollegeInsider.com Tournament had its championship game, with UIC traveling to play Northern Colorado. Northern Colorado led by nine at halftime and ran the lead up to 16 in the second half before UIC went on a 21-6 run to get within one. UIC appeared to run out of gas, though, as they didn’t score the rest of the way as the Bears held them off 76-70 to win the CIT.Illinois-Chicago advances to CIT title game, tops Liberty--CBS Sports
Northern Colorado was carried by Jordan Davis (29 points on 11-18 shooting, eight rebounds) and Andre Spight (23 points), while UIC was led by Marcus Ottey with 25 points on 10-18 shooting. The Flames have much of this team returning, while Northern Colorado will lose key pieces but still bring back a lot.
