The 2010 CIS Men's Final 8 Basketball Tournament was held March 19–21, 2010. It was the last of three consecutive CIS Championships to be held at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa, Ontario and was hosted by the Carleton Ravens. The host Ravens were seeking to win their seventh championship in eight years. The tournament was broadcast on TSN2, which led to controversy over its tape delay of one semi-final and over blocking on-line access to game broadcast.Final 8: TSN does it again; SSN SOLCIS hoops fans blocked by TSN
