The College of Staten Island men's basketball squad recently punched their ticket to their second-straight NCAA Division III National Championship Tournament, and the 62-team tourney kicks off tonight when CSI goes on the road to take on No. 9 Catholic University in Washington, DC, in a 7:30pm tip-off.  If you cannot make the game tonight, CSI SportsNet will get you covered.  Michael Baybusky and David Pizzuto will be live at courtside calling all of the action.  You can follow the live audio broadcast at www.csidolphins.com/live.  There will also be a live statistical feed of the game available here.

CSI enters the game fresh off of their second straight and 13th overall CUNYAC Postseason Championship, culminating in an 80-74 win over John Jay College a week ago.  CSI sports a 22-5 overall record, and are on a season-long seven game win streak.  The Cardinals have equally impressed, most recently wrapping up a Landmark Conference championship of their own, riding a 24-3 mark coming into tonight's NCAA showdown.

This is the third-ever meeting between the two sides, with Catholic having taken the previous two contests in 1980 & 1986.  This is their first-ever meeting as part of postseason competition.
