The Penn State men’s basketball team will officially not compete in the postseason this year.
After finishing this season with a 15-18 record, the Nittany Lions “did not pursue” a spot in the College Basketball Invitational, a Penn State spokesperson said in a text message Sunday night. The CBI is a 16-team postseason tournament featuring teams that did not receive bids to the NCAA tournament or National Invitation Tournament.
A Penn State spokesperson said in a text message Thursday night that no official decision had been made about postseason play, as the team’s focus was on the Big Ten tournament.
