PORTLAND, Ore. -- Second-ranked Oregon Tech opens up defense of its 2009 Cascade Collegiate Conference tournament title tonight in Klamath Falls when it hosts eighth-seeded College of Idaho in one of four opening-round games.

OIT captured the CCC's regular season title last weekend and earned one of the conference's two bids to the NAIA Championships, which get underway the second week of March in Branson, Mo. The CCC's other automatic berth will go to the winner of the conference tournament (or the runner-up should OIT also win the tournament crown).
In addition, with four teams in the final NAIA Division II Top 25 poll, the CCC stands a good chance of getting as many as two at-large bids to the 32-team, single-elimination national tournament.
