MOSCOW, Idaho – The Idaho men's basketball team will be competing in the postseason for the first time since 2011-12, this time heading to the College Basketball Invitational.  The Vandals will travel for their opening round game, taking on Seattle U on Wednesday, March 16.

Chris King will bring you the game live on the Vandal Radio Network, beginning with the pregame show at 6:30 p.m.

The Vandals finished the regular season 20-11, marking the first time since the 1992-93 season an Idaho squad won 20 games.  Idaho went 12-6 in the Big Sky, earning the No. 3 seed and a bye in the tournament.  Idaho took down local-rival Eastern Washington in the quarterfinals of the Big Sky Tournament, before falling to No. 2 Montana in the semifinals.

Idaho had a solid schedule in 2015-16, playing four non-conference games against teams that made the NCAA Tournament.  Idaho also defeated the lone Big Sky representative in the Big Dance, defeating Weber State 62-58 in the lone meeting.

The CBI is a 16-team, single-elimination tournament until the Championship Round, which is a three-game series.  All games played at the home site of the higher-seeded team.

Last season, Seattle U. advanced to the semifinals of the CBI before falling to eventual champion Loyola-Chicago.  Idaho is the first Big Sky representative in the CBI since Montana in 2011.  Eastern Washington and Montana will also represent the Big Sky in 2016.
