The CIAA Tournament kicks off tomorrow with 4 womens games and 2 mens games (http://www.ciaatournament.org/brackets). The CIAA seeds their teams 1-6 for North and South and then alternates them on each side of the bracket. The first two days are being played at Bojangles Coliseum (older arena that was recently renovated and now home to the minor league hockey team) and Thursday - Saturday will be played at The Spectrum Center (Charlotte Hornets Home).
Day 1 games:
Womens
#4S St. Augs v. #5N Chowan
#3N Lincoln v. #6S LC
#4N Bowie v. #5S Shaw
#3S WSSU v. #6N ECSU
Mens
#4S St. Augs v. #5N Chowan
#4N Lincoln v. #5S Fayetteville State
The mens' tournament is VSU's to lose; however, I think the real action will be in the womens' tournament. For example, due to a crazy 3 way tie in the North you have a quality Chowan womens team with a #5 seed (however, they have slid hard here at the end of the season). If they get the job done tomorrow then they face a VUU team who they only lost to by a basket a couple of days ago.
At this point the best bet is that both tournament winners will be coming out of the North this year.
