CBI Tournament Tickets

The College Basketball Invitational (CBI) is a distinctive post-season event in men’s college basketball, founded in 2007 by The Gazelle Group to provide an additional postseason opportunity for mid-major teams. Known for its straightforward, single-elimination format, the CBI has grown into a respected showcase for rising programs and standout players. Since 2021, all CBI games have been played at a single site, the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Florida, making it easy for fans to follow the action in one convenient venue.

In 2025, the CBI crowned Illinois State as champions with Cleveland State as runners-up, and Chase Walker of Illinois State earned MVP honors. The tournament schedule spans five days, typically from the first round through the championship, with FloCollege streaming early rounds, ESPNU telecasting the semifinals, and ESPN2 broadcasting the final. The CBI continues to be a reliable, no-fruss experience for fans who want to see competitive postseason hoops close to home.
