They have to make their money back.

WV is paying to be in this tournament.
It is a donation to your basketball program.
Your coach thinks you need to play more games.
Would they try to see if they can use both Konate and Culver.
Huggins is going to use the tournament as a valuable scrimmage time against another team.

This is so embarrassing! If we win this "tournament," Huggs probably will hang a "National Championship" banner. A new all-time low, even for us.

Leave him alone. He's just celebrating our invitation to the CBI. Not many West Virginians have an opportunity to see the Grand Canyon. Now, it's coming to us.

As for me, I don't fake anything, darling.

Douche.

They can’t afford $10?

Watch it or listen on the net or listen on the radio.

When you have a weak argument or no argument, call someone a name.

The CBI selects 16 teams that are not selected for the NCAA Tournament or the National Invitation Tournament (NIT).

The CBI is a pay-to-play tournament, meaning you pay $50,000 to play in the first round if at home, the visitor pays less, and the price goes up with each round but the school gets to keep the revenue from the game from ticket sales, concessions and any money earned through media.

Kind of like playing a bowl game nobody gives a crap about except the players.

Schools such as Oregon State, Oregon, Pitt, Houston, Cincinnati, Stanford, Virginia, Penn State, Purdue, TCU, St. John’s, Texas and Washington have competed in the CBI since its inception in 2008.

This year’s crop of teams will hope that success in the CBI portends 20-win seasons like that a year from now.

It's a chance to play postseason basketball

Grand Canyon attempted to open it up against Texas when they played.

They are a quick shooting team that doesn't play great half court defense.

Players like Jermaine Haley and Lamont West should have great games.

But....
If Grand Canyon hits their threes they can be a dangerous team.
When Texas played them they were one of the top shooting teams in the country from three...
Can't leave their shooters open.


Just think WV will be too tough on Defense.
When you D up Grand Canyon they usually don't play well.

Don't need motorcycles and third generation daredevils.
WV should charge 25 dollars for the second round game and have Bob Huggins wear something besides a tracksuit.
I would pay good money to see Huggy in a suit ot at least a sweater.
