Longhorns to CBI?

Cougars, Longhorns to meet in College Basketball Invitational | Cougars | a Chron.com blog


Several of my friends in Houston pointed me to this blog. Not sure how accurate it is/ will be.

Embarrassing for Texas, if true.

I'm so glad Iowa State never played in that garbage during the lean McDermott years.

Im not sure we would have qualified.

Didn't there used to be a rumor that the Big12 wouldn't let their schools participate in the CBI?

 

[cyhiphopp]

Is it honestly worth participating in though? Doesn't it usually costs the schools money?

Meh, even if it did UT has got some extra change.

CBI Bracket 2013: Texas headlines the field - SBNation.com


The Texas Longhorns headline the field, and they will face the Houston Cougars in the first round. The winner of that game will face the winner of the Charleston Cougars against the George Mason Patriots in the quarterfinals.

Now we need an official CBI thread if UT is in it.

How embarrassing for Texas.

If you have a young team, it makes sense to play this as it gets them tournament experience. Just look at the 2 big conference teams in it, Texas and Purdue. Both are very young teams.

This is Texas. You're forgetting who runs the conference.

How big is the CBI trophy? I thought programs lost money participating.

 

[awd4cy]

It kinda makes sense for them. Their young players will get to play more basketball and they will get to play on a neutral court because no fans will be there. I don't think it is that embarrassing when most people probably won't notice.

Not big enough.

That would be a great matchup. Like in 2010, I would favor the Cougars. Much better offensive team. They RUN.! UH= building, UT= imploding.!

That site also says Nebraska is being talked about for the CBI. This tournament is going to be loaded.

Ive said this before, I follow texas hoops way more than texas baseball and like all, are trumped by football. This is foolish. Laughingstock of the Big 12. Tech and TCU are laughing. an away game at Houston? is this the real life? Jesus. Derka could never ever persuade to me that this team right now can end up like Kansas in 4 years like his thread.

I can't believe this. I follow 2 schools mainly in the NCAA. Texas and NDSU.on one side I see this school embarrassed by riches, top of the line recruits, facilities, stadiums, fan base and money. NDSU is doing well but like texas has a huge(used loosely) following in football compared to other revenue sports. Theyre excited their season continues @ western michigan. I dont follow NDSU bball like I follow Texas bball, but if it so happens that these 2 teams meet in the championship of the CBI...i may just take up theater. forget basketball for the rest of my life.
