It appears that Army's 12-9 record has earned a berth in the College Basketball Invitational (CBI). https://www.gazellegroup.com/main/cbi/

This is the 13th year that the CBI has been held. This year it is an 8-Team, 3-day (Mar 22-24), single elimination tournament with all games being played at a single site--The Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, FL.

Army will tip-off on Monday evening, 22 March, 8:30 p.m. against Bellarmine (13-7) out of Louisville, KY, and a member of the Atlantic Sun Conference.

If Army wins, they would play in the semifinal the next day, Tuesday, against the winner of the Longwood VA (Big South, 12-16) vs. Pepperdine CA (West Coast, 12-12) game.

The other quarterfinal games are: Stetson (Atlantic Sun, 11-14) vs. Bowling Green (MAC, 14-11), and Coastal Carolina (Sun Belt, 16-7) vs. Bryant (NEC, 15-6).

Washington State and U of TX San Antonio also received CBI invitations, but declined to participate.

Live streaming of the CBI will be via FloHoops, but it requires a monthly or annual subscription.

Army Basketball's last trip to a tournament was in 2016, when they finished the regular season 19-14, but they were eliminated in the first round game by NJIT, 79-65.
