Please read the subject title. This thread is about the general CBI tournament. There is a Quinnipiac thread for all Quinnipiac specific discourse. Is there a Quinnipiac board for the fans, and one for the players? Seriously, you gonna herd these conversations onto their own specific board? These are chat groups and they are like real life when chats deviate to "oh by the way, that reminds me of Aunt Ethel's dog ..." (Yeah what about it?) "You mentioned having fleas, and it came to mind." There are no sins being committed here, just some topic-obsessed people who don't think discussing an Aces player on an Aces board should be under something the Aces plan to participate in. This stuff doesn't bother me as much as the pushback does. I agree. My post was sarcasm. Seems like once a year we have to revisit the topic of message boards being nothing but conversations and it being okay if the conversation drifts slightly from the original topic. Not sure why people get worked up about that. This thread would be two pages long if we limited it to bracket discussion, and Ben’s status is way more important to most than our looming second round game with Seattle.

Apparently the Bobe-bots have shifted to Ben, but anywho what does concern me is, the CBI bracket only shows ESPN+ for the last two days. Will we get to see round 1?

You know what would be almost as fun? A national version of the old Carson Jones Tri-State tournament at the Armory. Those games were legendary back in the 60s and 70s. Imagine, graduated college guys forming all-star teams and organizing a tournament. I think I'd rather watch that than the NIT.
Of course, pro scouts would love it and we could televise it on ESPN5, right next to the national Cornhole tournament.

Show place cinema east is showing game for free on big screen. That is awesome. I was really not looking forward to paying for a flosports subscription.

That is awesome for the Evansville area people. Can you see if they can do that at one of their cinemas in the Austin area and for other areas of the country where Aces fans are?

I have a question, At Ziggy's first press conference, didn't he say that he would be very transparent with the fans on everything? The reason I'm asking this is, there's been so many posts about Ben, whether he's not playing in the CBI Tournament, if he's left the team, and so forth. I think Ziggy should make a statement on Ben, and be truthful on what's going on. Especially to the fans who plan on traveling to Daytona to watch the Aces team in the tournament.

It would be best to let fans know beforehand, especially those traveling. I’m assuming they think saying something publicly could hurt fan turnout and give the opponent an advantage preparing for the team without Ben.

But....It would be the honorable thing to do and other teams announce when a player leaves the team. Also they never announce when a player is injured or not playing...when other schools do that....I don't know why UE has always been top secret with their fans.

what makes you think they are being top secret. this whole fiasco of conversation regarding Ben began here, without anywhere near verification of proof. I would more believe UE staff cares less what is posted here.

Maybe people are skeptical about what you say because you have been wrong numerous times.
