2012 CBI Bracket

PRINCETON, N.J.- With its defeat of San Francisco Tuesday, Washington State University men's basketball (16-16) had advanced and will host Wyoming (21-11), Monday, March 19 in the quarterfinals of the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) presented by Zebra Penn. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. at Beasley Coliseum.

Washington State and Wyoming have met five times in the two schools' histories, most recently during the 2005-06 season. The Cowboys hold a 4-1 advantage in the all-time series, but WSU won the last meeting Nov. 30, 2005 in its lone home game in the series. The first two meetings occurred on back-to-back days, Dec. 17 and Dec. 18, 1946. Both games were in Laramie, Wyoming and resulted in Cowboy wins.

The Cougars got a win over San Francisco, 89-75, in the first round at San Francisco Tuesday, while the Cowboys defeated North Dakota State, 78-75, Wednesday in Laramie. Other quarterfinal matchups include TCU at Oregon State, Butler at Pennsylvania and Princeton at Pittsburgh. The four winners will advance to the semifinal round March 21.
