DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – After a record-breaking 2023-24 campaign culminating in a MAAC regular season title, Quinnipiac Men's Basketball has earned an invitation to compete in 2024 Ro College Basketball Invitational.
The 2024 CBI will be a single-elimination, fully-bracketed men's basketball postseason tournament featuring 16 teams from across the country competing for a championship in Florida. The field will consist of teams not selected for the NCAA Tournament.
The 16th College Basketball Invitational will take place March 23-27, 2024 at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach. The Semifinals and Championship game will be broadcast on ESPN2. The Opening and Quarterfinal Rounds will be broadcast on FloHoops.
Quinnipiac will square off with Evansville in the first round of the tournament at 5:30 PM on Sunday, March 24.
"We're excited to have our season continue at the 2024 College Basketball Invitational in Florida," Quinnipiac Men's Basketball Head Coach Tom Pecora said. "An invitation to any postseason tournament is an honor, and I'm glad that our success during the regular season is being recognized. We look forward to showcasing our talent further down in Daytona Beach against other excellent college basketball programs."

This will mark Quinnipiac's second-ever appearance in the CBI. The Bobcats accepted an invitation to the tournament in 2012, falling at Penn in the opening round by the final score of 73-64.
The Bobcats have appeared in five other postseason tournaments since 2010: National Invitation Tournament in 2010, CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament in 2011, College Basketball Invitational in 2012, CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament in 2014, and CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament in 2019.
The Bobcats have already won a program-record 24 contests in 2023-24, capturing the team's first-ever MAAC regular season title. Guard Matt Balanc was named MAAC Player of the Year following an impressive year, while Head Coach Tom Pecora was crowned MAAC Coach of the Year.
QU's 19-4 start over their first 23 games marked the program's best start to a year since the 1965-66 campaign. Quinnipiac won 10 consecutive games from Jan. 5 – Feb. 8, the third-longest active streak in all of Division I basketball. The Bobcats finished the month of January with a 7-0 record, marking the first perfect month in the university's Division I history.
