Brown is going to a post-season basketball tournament for the fourth time in school history.

Coach Craig Robinson has accepted an offer to play in the inaugural College Basketball Invitational. The Bears will go on the road for a first-round game either Tuesday or Wednesday. Robinson was waiting to learn Brown's opponent.

"I'm really happy for these guys. They were playing really well at the end of the season," he said shortly after receiving the call.

The Bears finished with the best record in their Ivy League history, 19-9, and their 11-3 Ivy League record was second-best. They were second to the Ivy champion, Cornell.

Brown's 1939 team played in the first NCAA Tournament. The 1986 team won the Ivy League and played in the NCAA Tournament. The 2003 team finished second in the Ivy League and went to the NIT.
