Santa Clara wins the CIT

The Broncos won at Iona, 76-69.

Foster had a bad shooting night 6-20 (3-12 from 3). But he led with 16 points. They have 5 in double figures. Rocquemore had another tough night with 4 points and 3 turnovers.

Anyway, thought you'd like to see it.

I guess it's better to lose to the team that eventually wins it.

Still would have liked to have seen how we would have done if Papa Dia doesn't get hurt. Oh well.

They were 9.5 point underdogs also.... SC took over midway through the first half and led the rest of the way. Good for them and makes our loss look somewhat better I guess.

The CIT only matters when SMU is still alive.

the CBI finals on friday are going to be better than the final 4. I've never been more open to a 128 team field or whatever. Some of the lesser tourneys have had great match-ups vs teams that could beat VCU.

I'm sure I'm missing your underlying point or some subcontext by taking this literally. But can you imagine if that were true, what a story it'd be? Out of the blue three straight undefeated seasons, three national titles, and taking an undefeated record into the 2015 Final Four. It'd be the greatest run in the history of college basketball.

I like kool aid.
