NIT/CBI Tuesday

[Toledo Prophet]

Someone on around the horn just said if you are watching these games you are either a problem gambler or a sports junkie with no life.

I put a check next to both of those boxes!!!

Off to the gym, but I made these six plays tonight:

Richmond +11.5 over UVA
Rider +6 over ODU
Akron +7 over FSU
Okie St +6 over SIU
URI +7 over Creighton.
Minny ML -140 over Maryland.

Obviously, I expect the doggies to be barking tonight.

Good Luck! :weed:

Jay Mariotti would have hated me last night as I gambled on the NIT/CBI games and had three TVs set up to keep an eye on them!!

What is the CBI?

College Basketball Invitational is what it stands for and here is what it is.Sixteen teams will compete in this new postseason event, hosted at on-campus arenas throughout the country. The CBI will provide a meaningful opportunity for teams that are deserving of a postseason experience.

The College Basketball Invitational will be a single-elimination tournament, up until the Championship Series, with all games being played at campus sites. The Championship Series will be a best of three series, home-away-home, in which the higher seed will get the first and last (if necessary) home games.

The event will feature eight first-round games, four second-round games, a semifinal round and then a Championship Series
The opening round of the event will take place March 18 and 19
The winner of each opening round game will advance to the round of eight on March 24
The semifinals will be held on March 26
The Championship Series will take place on March 31, April 2 and April 4.
Bracketing will be done geographically into four regions of the country (East, West, South, Midwest) to minimize missed class time. Brackets will be balanced competitively within each region. The process will take place after the NCAA Tournament field is announced.

The 16-team field will consist of teams that are not selected for the NCAA Tournament. Teams will be invited based upon their performance during their conference and non-conference schedule, as well as how well the team is playing at the end of the regular season.

In other words it is a tournament for teams that arent good enough for the NCAA or NIT. I think it is just another money maker for the NCAA and the institution. :shrug:

Too many tournaments is drowning this sport.
