Watch your favorite college teams compete this postseason with CBI Tournament tickets. The CBI Tournament stands for the College Basketball Invitational. It was started by The Gazelle Group in 2007 and happened at the end of the men's collegiate basketball season. It features 16 teams that were not selected to play in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Tournament or the National Invitation Tournament (NIT).
The CBI Tournament runs a little differently where the first round is played in two days, the second round just one day a week later, and the semi-finals two days later along with the championship being played in a best of three series instead of single elimination like the other big contests. Most of the games have been broadcast on such sports stations as ESPNU and the CBS Sports Network to name just two.
Watch this unique tournament live with CBI Tournament tickets. The first year the tournament saw Tulsa Golden Hurricanes and the Bradley Braves competing for the title. The first game went to Tulsa by a final score of 73-68. In the next game, Bradley won 83-74. The third and final game saw Tulsa pull out yet another single-digit victory to claim the title. The Golden Hurricanes won the final game 70-64.
CBI Tournament Ticket Prices
Several variables will affect CBI Tournament ticket prices. The most important is the level of demand for a given contest. Non-conference games between little-known teams can be fairly inexpensive while tickets to the NCAA Tournament or NIT can be much more expensive. Conference tournaments and other conference contests can be a happy medium for fans who want to watch quality hoops without breaking the bank.
