College basketball's postseason landscape shifted yesterday with the introduction of a 16-team men's tournament that will compete with the National Invitation Tournament for teams left out of the NCAA tournament's 65-team field. The new tournament, called the College Basketball Invitational (CBI), raises the possibility that schools could have to decide in March between competing bids from the NIT and CBI. The CBI will stage its semifinals March 26 and its championship series on March 31, April 2 and April 4. The NCAA men's semifinals are April 5, with the national championship game two days later.

I'm not sure how to feel about this. Part of me thinks it's a good thing, and part of me goes isn't there already enough March Madness basketball going on that this can get lost in the shuffle.

The only joy I get out of the NIT is going to the semi-finals and finals at the Garden. That's it.
