The inaugural College Basketball Invitational is this year. It is another postseason tournament for college basketball, but unlike the NCAA Tournament and the NIT, the CBI is not owned by the NCAA. Here are my predictions:

Ohio 84, Brown 71
Virginia 75, Richmond 70
Rider 77, Old Dominion 76
Nevada 89, Houston 82

I do not have the time to analyze each and every game, so I just predicted the score of each game.
