Who Wants To Play In The CBI? (No One, Apparently)

The College Basketball Invitational has yet to announce who it will invite to play in its tournament this year. However, plenty of schools have already told the CBI not to bother sending an invitation because they won’t be RSVPing anytime soon.

↵Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, Charlotte and Alabama are among the programs that have already told the CBI not to bother because they’re not interested. They’d rather spend their March watching old game tapes from when they used to be good, I suppose.

↵If these schools see the NIT is the hamburger to the NCAA Tournament’s steak, then the CBI must seem like that store-brand, fatty ground beef shaped into a tube in the freezer section. Still, for those actually interested in playing basketball will find out if they have the chance shortly.
