The Coyotes host North Texas at 7 p.m. Wednesday inside the Sanford Coyote Sports Center in Vermillion.
The bid to play in the CBI marks the third appearance in a postseason national tournament in the Division I era. Previously, USD played in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament in 2010 against Creighton and the NIT last season at Iowa.
