Kinansela ng College Basketball Invitational ang tournament ngayong taon

Hindi magsasagawa ng postseason tournament ngayong taon ang College Basketball Invitational (CBI), ayon sa pahayag ng Gazelle Group. Nagmumula ang desisyong ito sa nagbabagong sitwasyon sa college basketball, dahil ang College Basketball Crown sa Las Vegas ay nagiging popular sa mga hindi kwalipikadong sa NCAA. Nagpapatuloy ang National Invitational Tournament, bagaman maraming programa ang pumipili na hindi sumali sa postseason play.

Nagpahayag ang Gazelle Group, na nag-oorganisa ng College Basketball Invitational, noong Huwebes ng umaga na hindi matutuloy ang event ngayong taon. Sa isang anunsyo sa social media, sinabi ng grupo, “Due to circumstances beyond our control, the CBI will not be held this year. We will see you next year!” Walang tagumpay ang mga pagsisikap na makakuha ng karagdagang detalye mula sa organisasyon sa panahong iyon. Ang kanselasyong ito ay ang pangalawang ganoong postseason tournament na huminto sa mga operasyon sa mga kamakailang taon, kasunod ng pagtigil ng College Insider Tournament noong nakaraang taon. Ang CBI, na nag-debut sa 2007-08 season, ay tradisyonal na nagpapakita ng mid-major at low-major men's basketball teams na hindi nakakuha ng slot sa NCAA Tournament o National Invitational Tournament (NIT). Nagpatakbo ito taun-taon maliban sa panahon ng 2020 COVID-19 season, na may ESPN2 na nagbabroadcast ng event sa nakalipas na apat na taon at nagbibigay ng name, image, and likeness (NIL) funding mula 2023. Ang Illinois State ang nanalo ng titulo sa nakaraang taong 11-team field. Samantala, lumitaw na ang College Basketball Crown bilang kaakit-akit na opsyon para sa mga team na hindi nakakuha ng NCAA bids. Ginagawa ito sa Las Vegas at pinagbabroadcast sa Fox, ang 16-team event na ito ay nag-aalok ng kompensasyon sa mga manlalaro na nakatali sa performance ng kanilang team. Ang Nebraska ang nanalo sa inaugural tournament noong nakaraang taon, at ang 2024 edition ay nakatakda mula Abril 1-5. Nagpapatuloy ang NIT, ngunit lalong tumatanggi ang mga high-major programs sa mga paanyaya, na mas pinipili ang Crown o tinatanggihan nang tuluyan ang postseason. Kabilang sa mga salik ang mga hamon sa roster mula sa transfer portal, na nagbukas noong Marso 23 noong nakaraang spring at lilipat sa Abril 7 ngayong taon—kaagad pagkatapos ng national championship game. Nagpahiwatig ang coach ng USC na si Eric Musselman na hindi malamang sumali ang kanyang 18-14 team, na binabanggit ang limitadong personnel at recent form: “I would say probably not, but I haven’t had in-depth conversations with admin yet about that. I would assume we’re not going to play, just based on number of bodies and how we played the last eight games.” Si Niko Medved ng Minnesota, na ang 15-17 squad ay nahaharap sa katulad na pagod, ay nagdagdag, “(The players have) been through a lot. They’re beat up that way. So are a lot of teams. But it’s cool that maybe we’ll earn the right to have that opportunity, but let’s let the dust settle a little bit and see where it goes.”
