HOUSTON — The Rice men's basketball team has accepted a bid to play in the 2022 College Basketball Invitational.
The tournament will take place March 19-23 at the Daytona Beach Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Fla.
"Being invited to the CBI is another positive step for our program," said head coach Scott Pera. "We have improved our win total again this year. Our team has battled all year long and achieved some big wins including Conference USA Tournament wins in back-to-back years for the first time since 2004-05. We have built a sustainable, winning program and to be invited to play in a postseason tournament is another great step as we continue our goal towards playing in March Madness."
The 14th edition of the CBI will feature 16 teams in a single-elimination bracket. The event was previously held on on-campus sites until 2021 due to COVID-19.
This will be Rice's second appearance in the CBI. The Owls also participated in the 2017 CBI, advancing to the quarterfinals.
FloHoops will stream the first and quarterfinal rounds. The semifinals and championship will be televised by ESPN2.
Rice enters the CBI with a 16-16 record after reaching the Conference USA quarterfinals for the second straight year.
Tickets for the tournament can be accessed here and may also be purchased at the Ocean Center box office on CBI game days. Special hotel rates are available at the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort.
