Starting against TCU is pretty good news. If CSUN wins that first game but loses the second game (which undoubtably will be against ASU) then CSUN becomes the host site for the following weekend of Pre-Season NIT games...of course I wish the team great success and hope that they go to Madison Square Gardens for the NIT Finals.

Reading the press release, I don't think CSUN can host any games, and will probably wind up being shipped to Western Kentucky for the consolation games (assuming we don't get to MSG).

"The remaining 12 teams will play third-and-fourth games on the home campus sites of the highest remaining seeds. Participating teams will not play any team twice, and the third-and-fourth rounds will be assigned to the most geographically compatible site possible. "

They only seeded the first 8 teams, and CSUN isn't one of them. So, assuming that the top 4 seeds (the home teams) all advance, that means the other game sites would be #5 Western Kentucky, #6 Hofstra, #7 TCU, and #8 Charlotte. Since you can't play the same team twice, we can't go to TCU. That leaves Western Kentucky as the closest geographic location for us. Now, if TCU were to beat us, then upset ASU in the west, we would stay at ASU, not having played them in the prelims. I think the only other location we might go to would be LSU, if WKU were to get the upset there.
