The CBI presented by Zebra Pen, which began in 2008, is a single-elimination tournament up until the Championship Series, with all games played at campus sites, providing fans the opportunity to follow and support their team. The event features eight first-round games, four quarterfinal round games, a semifinal round, and then the Championship Series.
The 16-team field consists of teams not selected for the NCAA Tournament. Teams are invited based upon performance during their conference and non-conference schedules, as well as how well the team is playing at the end of the regular season. Five participants in the 2010 CBI presented by Zebra Pen have earned berths in the 2011 NCAA Tournament: Akron, Boston University, Indiana State, Morehead State and Princeton.
The 2011 CBI will begin Tuesday, March 15, and end with a best-of-three Championship Series that begins Monday, March 28. The Quarterfinal Round will take place Monday, March 21, with Semifinal Round games being played Wednesday, March 23.
HDNet, which reaches in excess of 23 million homes, will serve as the primary television outlet for the tournament. Past CBI?champions are Virginia Commonwealth (2010), Oregon State (2009) and Tulsa (2008). Fellow Southern Conference member College of Charleston has competed in the last two tournaments.
The Wildcats posted a 17-14 record in the regular season and a 10-8 mark in the Southern Conference.
