  • Western Illinois is still playing in CBI

    I have received inside information that Western Illinois will travel to play Oregon State in the first round of the CBI. Congratulations Mo- the first postseason game for WIU.

    The CBI brackets and teams have not been announced officially yet.

    North Dakota State at Wyoming
    UWM at TCU- the winner plays the winner of Oregon State-WIU

    Other matchups-
    Butler is in the CBI, hosting Delaware
    Evansville will host Princeton

    Here is the full CBI bracket


    WIU has the farthest to travel of anyone in the CBI

      Butler may be one of the favorites to win this. Hard to believe last year's national runner up has dropped to this tournament this year, but it shows that the CBI is a quality tournament, and there were still some very good teams that missed out on the NIT.

      Very surprised that three BCS teams accepted bids to the CBI (and one of them on the road as well). And two of them were not named Oregon State!

        Pittsburgh should be tough to beat in this field...I predict they face Wyoming for the title.

          Agreed. Hard to believe Pittsburgh was in the top 25 early in the season!

            I know some have made fun of these tour. but not me, I always believe that you benefit more by playing at the end of the season rather then watching, Illinois is making a huge mistake by not playing as they have a very young team that only gets better by competing, I realize Leonard is going pro so they would have a chance to play some of their freshman more minutes in these games, no doubt that winning one of these tour.(CIT,CBI) is not considered a huge accomplishment but it is a great stepping stone for the future.
