The 2024 CBI bracket has been announced. Based on the field, it sure looks like there are more mid-major dropouts than we thought.

It's a 15 team field. Why 15 and not 16? Were they unable to find a suitable 16th team?

Judging from the 15th team, I think the answer is maybe.

The 15th team is Chicago State. They went 12-18, but with three non-D1 wins, so really 9-18. NET 296. They were one of DePaul's three wins. And they are in the CBI, as 15 seed.

So maybe they couldn't find a 16th?

EDIT: Chicago State did win at Northwestern, so there's that. Obviously that blip didn't hurt the Wildcats too badly.

Worm - thanks for posting.

That's an ugly tournament.

Glad to see Fairfield make a tourney as they were best team in MAAC but got outmuscled by St Peters in final.

I saw Fairfield play at Rider earlier in year expecting Jay Young to be the HC of Faiirfield and I was impressed by Fairfield but they lacked an interior prescence and that's what did them in vs St Peters.
 
I was hoping Monmouth would be in the tourney as I love going to the OFBC for games.

Isn't there another tourney as well, something like the CTI?
