Ohio To Take on East Tennessee State in CIT Quarterfinals

Ohio University men's basketball season isn't over yet. On Tuesday, they will take on East Tennessee State in the quarterfinals of the CIT.

I know the CIT is a joke, but isn't it exciting that the Bobcats are still playing basketball and have an opportunity to win a tournament.

Ohio is now 19-15 on the year and is three wins away from winning the Collegeinsider.com tournament. They are one of only two teams ever to have won a game in the NCAA tournament, the NIT, CBI, and the CIT. The only other team to have done so is Old Dominion.

Ohio has gotten to this point of the CIT by defeating Marshall in the first round. Marshall was the best team in the tournament and was believed to receive a bye into the quarterfinals had they beaten Ohio. Instead, Ohio won and received the bye to this point.

Tuesday night's game will take place at East Tennessee State and will be a tough game for the Bobcats to win. The Buccaneers are 23-11 and have beaten Dayton and Mississippi State this year.

If Ohio loses, it will be the last game for Bobcat seniors Tommy Freeman, DeVaughn Washington, Asown Sayles, and Adetunji Adedipe.

Prediction: Ohio 77-71, Bobcats move on to the CIT Final Four.
