DePaul beats Cincinnati, and avoids becoming the first Big East team ever to go 0-19.
And to think that this wouldn't have been possible until this year. I guess the BE bosses must be thrilled that they got to include DePaul in this year's tourney. As for Cincinnati they shouldn't even be allowed into the NIT after a loss like that. These guys were considered a bubble team and in the span of a week they get blown out by South Florida, lose to Seton Hall and lose to 0-18 DePaul. If I were a cynic I'd be wondering what the betting action was on those 3 games.

I was thinking the same thing.
 
Horizon League Championship Preview

Horizon League- Championship Game
(3) Cleveland St. vs. (1) Butler- 9:00 ET (ESPN)

Heading into this game, the Vikings have won 11 of their last 13 games, clearly one of the hottest teams in the Nation. They also have a signiture win over Syracuse this year. The Vikings one downfall all year has been not being able to get over the hump against conference leading Butler. In each of the two games they played this season, CSU lost by 2 points. If tonight's game lives up to the hype, the Horizon League Championship will be one for the ages!

This is one of those games that the bubble teams will be rooting like crazy for Butler. The Bulldogs are in the tourney regardless of the outcome.

Yep, I agree. And oddly enough, one of those bubble teams is the OSU Buckeyes. If CSU wins, OSU is most likely out. I'm still rooting for CSU. Having 2 Horizon League teams in the tourney would be great.

Well that's a dilemma. I'm sure Buckeye nation appreciates you throwing them under the bus. :D
