Princeton and Evansville both issued press releases trumpeting their teams' inclusion in the CBI.

There are already previews of this game in the Courier Press and on Ivy Hoops Online.

As Spring Break ends, the Yale Daily News and the Daily Pennsylvanian catch up on Princeton's victories over their respective schools.

Third seed Georgetown drew Belmont in the Midwest region of the NCAA Tournament bracket.

12th-seeded Harvard will play Vanderbilt in the NCAA Tournament. The Commodores have an ace up their sleeve when they scout the Crimson for an East region pairing: The best friend of senior Lance Goulbourne is Doug Davis.

On the same day the Crimson's postseason pairing was announced, an elite big man declared he would be going to Harvard after a post grad year.

Northwestern fell short of the NCAAs and will instead host an NIT game.

For the third time in four years, Oregon State is playing in the CBI.

Denver was snubbed by the NIT and concluded their season at 22 victories without a postseason trip.

The year is also over for Richmond.

The only surprise in the Harvard recruiting story is that the young man must not have gained admission. His September campus visit made big news at the time. I am sure we'll have another round of debate on the AI in basketball recruiting. Could this "deferment" mean the system has some hurdles that even Amaker and Bain cannot avoid? ( When Harvard was warming up at Jadwin I noticed an obvious 7 footer taking some 3 pointers. I asked an asst coach, "Who's THAT?" He smiled and identified the kid as a sophomore!)

No shock about NU not making the NCAAs. Generally I don't like it when major-conference teams with losing records in conference and a couple of good home wins get in over 22+ win mid-majors who have to go on the road all the time. So despite my affection for Carmody, I have to agree with the committee.

Tough break for Denver. I wonder if they chose to stay out of the other tournaments or were snubbed there as well. They probably can't see the back of the Sun Belt conference fast enough.

It appears Denver was all or nothing with the NIT. Didn't vie for CBI/CIT.
