This should please the Utah haters:

Did you know there are now four postseason tournaments? Utah received flack for making the inaugural CBI tournament a few years ago, due to being passed over by the NIT, and now for those who are not CBI worthy, there is the CIT.

So to recap:
NCAA Tournament (68 teams)
NIT (32 teams)
CBI (16 teams)
CIT (32 teams, up from 24 last year).

If the CBI isn't careful, the CIT will surpass them as #3 in prestige, now that they have 32 teams. Last year's final was Santa Clara over Iona. (Poor Iona. The WCC pwns them).

For those counting at home, that's 148 teams in the postseason now.
