The Chicago Invitational Challenge was a Division I college basketball tournament that took place during Thanksgiving week. The opening two rounds were played on campus sites, with the semifinal and final rounds played at the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois (with the exception of 2009 when they were played at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, Illinois). The pre-season tournament was owned and operated by Basketball Tournaments, Inc. The first challenge was held in 2006 with the last being staged in 2011.

The first event was won by the Illinois Fighting Illini, defeating the Bradley Braves 75–71 in the championship game.[1][2]

The Xavier Musketeers were the champions of the second offering, winning the final game 80–65 over the eighth ranked Indiana Hoosiers.[3][4]

The third event was held in a non-bracket format, with game schedules set prior to the tournament. The Dayton Flyers took the crown by virtue of being the only squad the swept their schedule.

The fourth event was won by the Northwestern Wildcats, holding off the Iowa State Cyclones 67–65 in the final game.[5][6]

The Richmond Spiders were crowned champions of the fifth offering, as they bested the tenth ranked Purdue Boilermakers 65–54 in the final.[7][8]

The eleventh ranked Wisconsin Badgers won the final offering with a 73–56 victory over the Brigham Young Cougars in the championship game.[9]
