LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. – Siena Basketball red-shirt senior forward Brett Bisping has added another major achievement to an already highly decorated career. The Peoria, Illinois native has been named to the College Basketball Invitational All-Time Team.
Bisping was joined on the All-Time CBI Team by Kenneth Faried (Morehead State), Doug McDermott (Creighton), Larry Nance, Jr. (Wyoming), and Andrew Nicholson (St. Bonaventure). The College Basketball Invitational All-Time Team was created in conjunction with the celebration of the CBI’s 10thAnniversary. The team was selected by a fan vote from an official ballot of 24 candidates.
Bisping was named the 2014 College Basketball Invitational Most Valuable Player after leading Siena to the first national postseason tournament title in school history.
