CBI Championship Series Game One
George Mason Patriots at Santa Clara Broncos
Leavey Center, Santa Clara, California.
George Mason hails from the Colonial Athletic Association. The Patriots are 21-14 on the season, 10-8 in CAA regular season play, 12-8 away from home and are currently on a three game winning streak.
Santa Clara is 24-11 on the season, 15-5 at home and currently on a three game winning streak.
TV: AXS TV
(Honestly, I don't know anything about AXS other than Mark Cuban owns it. Find out if you have it here.)
Radio: KDOW 1220 AM in the Bay Area.
Online: Free live audio from KDOW and live video from Santa Clara Athletics ($9.95).
The Broncos are on the brink of their best season, based on win total, since the 27-2 mark from 1969. One win puts them at 25 and they'll get two chances to get that one win. The CBI abandons the typical single elimination format for the championship and takes on a best of three series style.
The first of the three games will be in Santa Clara. Games two and three (if necessary) will be at George Mason, in Fairfax, Virginia.
This young tournament's past champions are Pittsburgh, Oregon, VCU, Oregon State and Tulsa. Other than this year's Broncos the only WCC team to participate in the CBI was last season's San Francisco Dons. USF lost their opener to a Washington State squad that went on to fall to Pittsburgh in game three of the championship series.
Six of the ten schools that have played in the CBI Championship Series have gone on to play in subsequent NCAA Tournaments.
