Wednesday, March 19th, 2008Everyone knows that Florida State is a tough team to beat at home, but the Akron Zips defied the odds last night in the NIT Tournament. Akron knocked off Florida State 65-60 in OT last night to advance in the 2008 NIT as the Zips will be one of just 16 teams remaining for the NIT Championship. Meanwhile, the Ohio Bobcats were also given the opportunity to continue their season as they hosted Brown in the CBI Tournament on Tuesday night. Ohio trailed at the half but came back in the second half for a 80-74 win to advance as one of the final eight teams in the inaugural CBI Basketball Tournament.
