Past CBI champions include Tulsa, Oregon State, VCU, Oregon, Pittsburgh, Santa Clara, Siena, Loyola Chicago, and Nevada. Teams from nearly every conference have participated in the event. Twenty-eight teams have used the CBI to springboard to the NCAA Tournament the following year, while another 17 have gone on to the NIT. ESPN is again the official television home of the CBI presented by FIVE FOUR. ESPNU will televise each game of the best-of-three championship series, with Roy Philpott and Corey Williams serving as the broadcast team. CBI to Utilize Experimental Men's Basketball Rules Changes The College Basketball Invitational, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, in an effort to assist the NCAA in its research exploring the implementation of four 10-minute quarter rather than two 20-minute halves and increased scoring options, will utilize recent experimental playing rules adopted by the 2017 NIT, including resetting team fouls to zero at the end of 10-minute segments of each half and resetting the shot clock to 20 seconds instead of 30 seconds at times when the ball in inbounded in the front court.
