Any chance that UConn would play in the CBI?

[deedougie]

Just wondering if it would even be worth it.

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Nope.

I think we draw the line with the NIT. I honestly think it would help the program more going forward if the coaching staff spent 100% of that time recruiting instead of preparing to play in the CBI. Also, if we played in the CBI, and any of our guys got seriously injured, that would be the meltdown of all meltdowns on this board about why we even decided to play in a meaningless tournament.

Hurley already said he’s taking two days off then recruiting so the season is done.

 

[Robertelamin]

After today’s game I think it’s time to call it a season.

 

[deedougie]

Always hard to say goodbye to a UConn season, even one that didn't produce as much memorable moments as this year. 8 months with out UConn men's basketball sucks!

 

[freescooter]

I would hope not. Have at least some pride. That is a tourney that desribes itself as a tournament for MID-MAJORS.

 

[GHSWolverines]

Only if Akok is able to play. I want to see what he's got. On a serious note... decline potential invitation. Let the coaches continue to grind on the recruiting trail.

Huggins said WVU would play in the CBI which I thought was interesting. Although at this rate they’ll probably just play in the NCAA tournament

 

[imno1]

If it makes financial sense I would play. If we lose money than decline.

yes, if all the games were home at Gampel

 

[6xChamps]

yes, if all the games were home at Gampel

We’d have to pay $50,000 for that I believe

 

[Waquoit]

yes, if all the games were home at Gampel

NIT and below go to Gampel.

some guys are competitors and he wants his young kids to get as much PT as possible I don't really care for the guy but I agree with this decision of his

 

[BY06518]

If Hurley thinks we need to play why not.

 

[whaler11]

For the love of God.

Go look at the CBI field.

Then when the 7th person posts this same ridiculous question tell them to stop.

Don't you have to pay a fee to play in those tournaments?

Just a bad idea on several levels.

Yes you pay to play and pay more to host.

 

[wheelerdog]

Never.

 

[the Q]

What is the difference between the cbi and playing in the beef o’Brady bowl?

What’s the value of that extra few weeks of practice and games?

Don’t worry, football season will be here to raise your spirits before you know it.
