Accepting a bid to the CBI isn't what this team needs. This team need to either get an NIT or NCAA bid or just stay home.
UAB isn't rebuilding to the point where accepting any kind of bid or time to practice is good.
We need to think we are to major of a program to accept a CBI bid...just my opinion..

I am torn on a CBI bid. Normally I am against it, but I recognize the benefit. However, Haase mentioned in a post game interview that the freshmen aren't used to playing this long of a season. Remember this team has been together since August when they went overseas. They may be ready for a rest.

One of my biggest complaints about the CIT and CBI is their tournaments isn't lose and you're out. They play best of series. This skews the season stats and increase the chance of injury for meaningless games.

Gun to my head, I vote no on CBI or CIT.

That's just the final. I went to their site to check. Also, they are apparently using a 30 second shot clock this year. I get that it has been a long season, but it's just a few more games. I think any extra games and practice we can have right now we take advantage of.

I say you take the CBI bid. We won't fall to the CIT. (I can't believe I just typed that) That said let's just win the C-USA Tourney and not worry about it. He's right, it's just the final.
