The College Basketball Invitational is a single-elimination tournament, up until the “best-of-three” Championship Series, with all games being played at campus sites. Prior to the semifinals, the remaining teams will be re-seeded. The Championship Series is a “best-of-three” in which the higher seeded team will host two of the three games.

Oregon State, as defending CBI champion, was invited to this year’s CBI. The Beavers won the title by downing UTEP two games to one, in the Championship Series, with the final game played in front of a full house at UTEP’s Don Haskins Center. Tulsa won the inaugural CBI in 2008.
