MSU to Host Nevada in Game 1 of CBI Finals

Morehead State University

Morehead State men's basketball team will host the Nevada Wolfpack in game one of the College Basketball Invitational (CBI ) Finals Monday night at 8:30 p.m. in Johnson Arena.

To purchase tickets, call 606-783-2088 or visit online at: http://MSUEagles.com/CBITix

Fans will be able to enjoy $1 fountain drinks and $1 popcorn during the game.

The CBI Finals will consist of a best-of-three series and will air live on ESPNU. Games two and three will take place in Reno, Nev. on Wednesday, March 30, and Friday, April 1 (if necessary).

For the first time in program history, the Eagles have won three postseason games in one season. MSU's previous high was two postseason wins in 1956 and 1961.

The Eagles were the only road team to win in the first round of the CBI and the win marked their first postseason victory since they upset Louisville in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in 2011. The road team has won only three times in this year's CBI and Morehead State has two of those three victories after defeating Ohio in Athens.

Morehead State is 22-12 while Nevada enters 22-13.
