2015 College Basketball Invitational

The 2015 College Basketball Invitational was a single-elimination tournament of 16 NCAA Division I teams that did not participate in the 2015 [NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|NCAA tournament] or the NIT. The opening games and the quarterfinals were held in mid-March on the home courts of participating teams. After the quarterfinals, the bracket were reseeded. A best-of-three championship series between the two finalist teams was held, with Loyola-Chicago winning the title with a two-game sweep. One change from this year's CBI Tournament was the use of a 30-second shot clock.
