COASTAL IN THE POST SEASON
Tuesday marks the third consecutive year that Coastal has received a post season bid... The Chants have been to four previous post season tournaments while making its first appearance in the CIT.
NCAA: 1991: (L, 69-79 to Indiana) 1993: (L, 53-84 to Michigan)
NIT: 2010: (L, 49-65 to UAB) 2011: (L, 44-68 to Alabama)
WHAT'S ON THE LINE
A Coastal win would give the Chants their third consecutive 20-win season for the first time in school history... Also, Coach Ellis would become only the second coach (Lefty Driesell, five schools) in NCAA history to record 100 or more wins at four or more Division I programs (South Alabama 171, Clemson 177, Auburn 186 and CCU 99)... Ellis is currently one of 10 coaches to reach 100 or more wins at three schools... He currently holds a 99-59 record at CCU.
