Should Tech have been in CBI?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
There’s the NCAA, and then there’s the NIT and this year there’s the CBI, the College Basketball Invitational, a tournament for those teams that didn’t make the 65-team NCAA field or the 32-team NIT.
Who’s 98th?
Not Georgia Tech. Virginia, which lost to Tech in the ACC tournament, is a No. 1 seed in the CBI. Cincinnati, which lost its last six games to finish 13-18, is in the 16-team tournament, too.
Would you have wanted the Yellow Jackets (15-17) to play in the first-year tournament, which isn’t run by the NCAA? Before you answer, be sure to weigh the benefits of added practice for the returning players against the potential stain of being associated with a tourney that made Cincinnati a five-games-below-.500 at-large pick.
