Bobcats to play in CBI, face Albany on Wednesday

The Ohio University men’s basketball accepted an offer to play in the 2016 College Basketball Invitational (CBI) on Sunday night.

The Bobcats will face the University of Albany in a first-round game on Wednesday night, starting at 7 p.m. inside the Convocation Center.

The CBI brackets were announced by the Gazelle Group, which has produced the postseason tournament since its inception in 2008.

The CBI is a 16-team tournament, with all the games played at campus sites of the higher seeded team. It is a single-elimination bracket until the Championship Series — between the final two teams — which is best-of-three format at alternating campus sites.
