2022-23 CBI Bracketology #6 2-24-23

By: Ethan Hennessy

Some conferences conclude their regular season this weekend. I have begun the annual tradition of reaching out to programs to gauge the temperature of the room on postseason play. I’ve gotten some valuable information regarding teams interest in receiving a CBI bid. I’ll continue to work the phone all the way through the evening of Selection Sunday. Here is how I see the CBI field on February 24th.

College Basketball Invitational (16 Teams Daytona Beach Florida)

• Ball State (20-8 MAC)
• Duquesne (19-9 A-10)
• Fordham (22-6 A-10)
• Fort Wayne (16-14 Horizon)
• Georgia (16-12 SEC)
• Longwood (20-10 Big South)
• Louisiana (22-7 Sun Belt)
• Loyola Marymount (18-11 WCC)
• Sam Houston State (21-6 WAC)
• San Jose State (16-12 Mountain West)
• Southern Indiana (15-15 OVC)
• Southern Utah (19-9 WAC)
• Stetson (17-11 ASUN)
• Tennessee Martin (18-12 OVC)
• UAB (21-8 CUSA)
• UNCG (20-10 SoCon)

Yearly breakdown

2022: 97% (36/37) Perfect CBI

2021: 100% (8/8) Perfect CBI

*2020: 88% minimum *It was later determined three days from Selection Sunday (at the time of the cancelations) I had already correctly predicted 37 of the would-be 42 teams confirmed in the fields.

2019: 93% (39/42)

2018: 75% (27/36)
