Utes Working on Details for Probable CBI Berth
Just learned that the Utes have indeed been in contact with the College Basketball Invitational people, and it's looking good that they will be invited to play in the inaugural tournament.
Only downside?
They probably will play on the road Tuesday or Wednesday, though the Utes won't know for sure or have the details nailed down for a little while yet. One probable sticking point is indeed the $60,000 guarantee that the CBI wants home teams to pay it, out the gate receipts for the games. That would be a tough case to make, considering the game probably would not attract a huge crowd at the Huntsman Center.
Ohio and Virginia have confirmed they're in the tournament, and I've been told that UTEP and Nevada are also confirmed in the field, so far. Maybe that Utes at Nevada prediction will actually come to pass ... ;-)

Can we get a Utah - Wyoming match up in the CBI thing so that someone can be held accountable for the needless, in-your-face dunk?
