Truman is sending at least one team from what I can tell.

We will discuss it on Thursday. I can´t make it due to the fact that I will be having my ears pleasured by the sweet sound of Manchester Orchestra and Brand New.

We're sending two teams, most likely. Currently we have 6 players who said they'd go.

The 24th is the first day of our spring break, so we'll only have one team.

How many StL-area schools actually have teams other than WashU? Interesting than an LA school is coming, that's a hella long drive...

None. There hasn't been a team from Webster at CBI in about 4 years and UMSL hasn't shown up since the flask incident at CBI 6 years ago.

They were passing around a flask between rounds according to various sources who were there (I was not).

Hard liquor would certainly ease the soul-crushing pain that CBI questions cause, and might even make you play better since the retarded thoughts that would creep into your head may turn out to be right answers.

Standings at: http://sugroups.wustl.edu/~collbowl/GIT ... dings.html

Truman State A went 13-1 to claim the GIT XII title by a single game over Rolla. The teams split their two games, but Rolla's loss to Lafayette meant Truman had the better record after 14 rounds of play. Tulsa (9-5) was third place with Lafayette (7-7) fourth place.
Individual top honors went to Ryan Stander of Truman-A, who scored 54 PPG. The remainder of the top six were Josh (ND) 49/gm, Max (Rolla) 48/gm, Angelo (Tulsa) 47/gm, Nathaniel (Tulsa) 44.6/gm, Matt (Rolla) 44.3/gm. Neg king was Nathaniel with 25, power king was Max with 25.
Thanks to all the teams who came! Signing off from WUAT...

The score of the second Truman-Rolla game was actually 330-260.

Regardless, we had a great time today, and congratulations to Truman on the win.

Is this tournament being moved back to the regular fall time, or is it staying put in March?
