Overview

The National Invitational Tournament, or NIT, is a single-elimination 32-team Division I men’s basketball tournament held every spring. The NIT happens at the same time as the NCAA Tournament (March Madness), with NIT games typically televised early in the week and NCAA Tournament games shown around the weekend. The teams that compete in the NIT are the strongest teams that did not make it into the NCAA Tournament. Consequently, the NIT is usually given less attention and does not draw as many fans or viewers as March Madness. However, the NIT is a great place to watch competitive teams get a second chance at the postseason, and it serves as a showcase for the best of the rest.

History

The NIT was started in 1938 as a six-team tournament created by the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association. In the first NIT final, Temple defeated Colorado. The following year, the NCAA Tournament was created. In the beginning, the NIT was viewed as the premier tournament. At that time, the NCAA Tournament only invited one team from each conference, potentially leaving superior teams out of the tournament. The NIT had no such restrictions, inviting the most competitive teams in the country, regardless of conference affiliation. As a result, the NIT typically had a more competitive field and was regarded as the more significant title. 

During the 1970s, the balance of power changed. The NCAA dropped the rule limiting one team per conference and began compelling member schools to accept invitations to the NCAA Tournament, disallowing invitees from choosing the NIT instead. March Madness also landed a superior television deal. This combination of factors relegated the NIT to second place; the NCAA Tournament has been the premier college basketball competition ever since.

Selection Process

Teams that are the regular-season champion of their conference but fail to get invited to the NCAA Tournament receive an automatic invitation to the NIT. Out of the remaining eligible Division I teams that did not get invited to the NCAA Tournament, a selection committee follows a process to nominate, select, and seed teams. The committee then slots the seeded teams into their starting positions and groupings within the NIT bracket.

The NIT Committee, the group of people responsible for the construction of the NIT bracket, is composed of a mix of eight former NCAA men’s basketball coaches and athletic administrators as well as current athletic administrators from NCAA schools. Each member serves a four-year term, but consecutive terms may be served. The committee members are responsible for selecting the best available teams without bias and are forbidden from voting for a team they have represented at any point in their career.

Throughout the selection weekend, the NIT Committee conducts a series of secret ballots in which the committee selects the eight strongest teams from the pool of potential teams and then ranks them by weighted vote. The top four teams on each ballot are selected for the tournament; the bottom four move to the next ballot or back to the pool if they make the bottom four twice. This process continues until enough teams are selected to fill the NIT bracket, keeping in mind that some of the selected teams will end up playing in the NCAA Tournament instead. 

Seeding and Placement Process

Once the teams have been selected, the committee seeds each team using a similar series of secret ballots, ranking the top eight teams from the pool of selected teams. In order, the top four teams from each ballot are moved onto a master seed list. The bottom four move to the next ballot. The process is repeated until all teams have been placed on the seed list.

After the NCAA Tournament selections are announced, the top remaining 32 teams on the seed list are invited to the NIT Tournament. The NIT Committee then completes the bracket by slotting the seeded teams into one of four regions and seeding them from 1-8 within their regions, all based on the teams’ overall position on the seed list. The top two seeded teams from a single conference are automatically put into separate regions; seeds may be slightly altered to accomplish this. 

Notable Teams

St. John’s has won the most NIT championships, with five titles. Bradley has four championships, and Dayton and Stanford both have three. The teams that have played the most games in the NIT are St. John’s, Dayton, Providence, and Minnesota. The teams with the highest winning percentages in the NIT are UCLA, Michigan, Penn State, Air Force, and Purdue.

Women’s NIT

A Women’s National Invitational Tournament, or WNIT, has been staged since 1969.  In the beginning, it was an eight-team tournament in Amarillo, Texas. After a two-year break and reconfiguration in the 1990s, the WNIT has expanded into the 64-team tournament that it is today. Like the NIT, the WNIT invites regular-season conference champions that lose their conference tournaments, then fills out the bracket with the best remaining teams that didn’t make the NCAA Tournament.

FAQ

What Is The NIT Tournament Bracket?

The NIT Tournament bracket is the method in which teams are seeded and organized in the National Invitational Tournament (NIT). The NIT is a men’s college basketball tournament, and the teams that compete in it are the best teams in the country that didn’t make it into the NCAA Tournament. The NIT Tournament bracket is a single-elimination single bracket that divides its field of 32 teams into four eight-team regions. Each team in a region is seeded 1-8. 

What Is The Purpose Of The NIT Tournament?

The purpose of the NIT Tournament is to give a second chance at a postseason to teams that didn’t receive an invitation to the NCAA Tournament. Student athletes get one more opportunity to compete, bring glory to their school, and get noticed by scouts. Schools that host early round games have the benefit of a postseason game at home and added revenue from tickets and concessions. The NIT also functions as a springboard for growing programs from small schools or teams attempting to gain re-entry into the NCAA Tournament.

How Does The NIT Tournament Work?

The NIT Tournament starts with a committee choosing the 32 best teams that didn’t make it into the NCAA Tournament. Those 32 teams are divided into four regions and seeded 1-8. The low seeds play the high seeds to encourage upsets, and the higher seeds have home-field advantage in early rounds. Each round of the tournament is single-elimination, with the winner advancing to the next round and the loser going home. After four rounds, two teams remain, and a final game, the NIT Championship, is played in Madison Square Garden.

NIT 2022: Bracket, Times, Dates, Live Streaming and TV Schedule | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Butch Dill/Associated Press

March Madness is underway.  

The field of 68 teams for this year's men's NCAA tournament was released Sunday. For some programs, it was a joyous day representing the culmination for all their hard work this season. For others, it was heartbreaking to be one of the bubble teams left on the outside looking in. 

For those teams, as well as for the programs that never had a chance of making the Big Dance, there's the NIT (National Invitational Tournament), which released its own bracket shortly after its NCAA tournament counterpart. 

For the first time since 2019, we'll see a full 32-team NIT field. The tournament was canceled in 2020 because of COVID-19 and featured just 16 teams in 2021. 

According to NCAA.com, "Any team that is a regular-season champion of a DI conference and is not selected to the NCAA DI men's tournament will receive an automatic bid into the NIT."

Let's take a closer look at the bracket for this year's NIT, as well as how and when to tune in. The action begins on March 15 with eight games each day during the first round.  

NIT Schedule and Live Stream

March 15-16: first round

March 19-20: second round

March 22-23: quarterfinals

March 29: semifinals at Madison Square Garden

March 31: championship at Madison Square Garden

TV: ESPN

Live Stream: Watch ESPN and ESPN+

The following teams received automatic bids to the NIT:

Atlantic Sun: Jacksonville State

Big West: Long Beach State

CAA: Towson

Conference USA: North Texas

Ivy: Princeton

Missouri Valley: Northern Iowa

Sun Belt: Texas State

Horizon League: Cleveland State

MAAC: Iona

MAC: Toledo

Southland: Nicholls

SWAC: Alcorn State

The full NIT bracket is below:

Top Left Bracket 

No. 1 Dayton vs. Toledo

No. 4 Vanderbilt vs. Belmont

No. 3 Florida vs. Iona

No. 2 Xavier vs. Cleveland State

Bottom Left Bracket

No. 1 Oklahoma vs. Missouri State

No. 4 Colorado vs. St. Bonaventure

No. 3 Mississippi State vs. Virginia

No. 2 North Texas vs. Texas State

Top Right Bracket

No. 1 SMU vs. Nicholls

No. 2 BYU vs. Long Beach State

Bottom Right Bracket

No. 1 Texas A&M vs. Alcorn State

No. 4 Utah State vs. Oregon

No. 3 VCU vs. Princeton

No. 2 Wake Forest vs. Towson

Memphis, 2021 NIT champion, made the NCAA tournament bracket this year as a No. 9 seed, the Tigers' first appearance since 2014. 

One of the more interesting storylines to come out of the NIT bracket reveal, as WTOL sports director Jordan Strack pointed out, is that Toledo will host No. 1 Dayton in the first round of the men's NIT. The Flyers cannot host at UD Arena because the First Four will be played there. 

Dayton was eliminated in the Atlantic 10 tournament semifinals.

Widely regarded as the biggest snub in March Madness this season, 23-12 Texas A&M won't get a chance to vie for the NCAA title but will be one of the biggest draws in the NIT field. The Aggies faced Tennessee in the SEC Championship Game but lost. 

Barrett Sallee @BarrettSallee

Um … Texas A&M didn’t get in? That’s criminal.

Texas A&M was one of the first four out, along with Dayton, Oklahoma and SMU. Those teams will serve as the replacements should another team have to withdraw because of COVID-19. 

Oklahoma lost to Texas Tech in the Big 12 tournament semifinals.

Other storylines revolved around the teams that were not in the NIT bracket...but many viewers thought should have been. Michigan was the program most-often mentioned as one that had no business getting into the NCAA tournament bracket.   

Save for Dayton, the higher-seeded teams will host their opponents at their home arenas until the final two rounds. The semifinals and championship game will be held at Madison Square Garden.

In the United States, playoffs, tournaments, and title games often go beyond mere athletic competition and form a cult following.

After the Super Bowl, the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament or "March Madness" or "The Big Dance" is the most anticipated sporting event of the year. Of course, other sports (baseball) and leagues (NBA) can argue with this opinion, but it is shared by many, and in this article I argue this position.

The ABC of Madness

I'll start with the ABC of Madness. I think it makes sense to immediately deal with the terminology in order to create equal conditions for all readers. If you are following this tournament for the first time or have not really figured out how the tournament works yet, this article and especially this section is especially for you. If you know everything and are interested in the details of this year's tournament, feel free to skip this section and go to the part of the text that interests you.

Let's start!

The NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament is a tournament for the best men's college basketball teams in Division I. There are similar tournaments for the second and third divisions and women's college basketball.

"March Madness" is the most famous nickname of the tournament, which refers to the huge number of games that were played over two weeks, a bunch of upsets and to the sincere emotions of the players for whom this tournament is the best chance to show themselves and continue their careers, while for others this is the last chance to play their favorite game before the start of “adulthood”.

The Big Dance is another well-known nickname for the tournament.

"Upset" is a phenomenon that occurs in any competition, most often in sports or politics. Upset is the outcome of the competition when the underdog (outsider) wins the fight against the favorite.

"Underdog" (eng. "Underdog") - an outsider.

"Bracket" - the approved schedule of tournament games. The grid does not change after each round, there are no further draws or “re-seeding” of teams.

"Regionals" - the general tournament can be divided into regional tournaments that are played in different regions of the United States: East, West, South and Midwest.

"Seeding" - rating of teams in the tournament. Seeding takes place in such a way that the favorites do not run into each other at the beginning of the tournament. Each team gets into one of 16 pots (1 best, 16 worst).

"Bracketology" is the "science" of correctly predicting the results of a tournament when the bracket is filled.

"Bracket buster" is a big upset that destroys the grid of most fans.

"Cinderella" (eng. "Cinderella") - an underdog who gets to the quarterfinals or beyond. Every tournament usually has at least one.

"Selection Sunday" - a special commission announces 68 teams that will enter the bracket. Eight of them will play the preliminary games ("First Four"), and the four winners will advance to the main tournament, which includes 64 teams. The first four is the official start of the tournament. Matches are played on Wednesday, the day before the start of the main part of the tournament.

“Selection Committee” (eng. “Selection Committee”) is the name of a special commission that selects 68 teams that will enter the draw.

"Automatic bid" - there are 32 conferences in the first division of college basketball, each of the winners of the conference tournament is provided with an automatic invitation to the main tournament.

"At-large bid" - 36 teams that are not champions of their conferences and receive a personal invitation from the tournament's election committee to play in it. These are the top 36 teams, in addition to those who received an automatic invitation.

"Bubble teams" are teams that are on the verge of entering the tournament and their fate depends on the decision of the electoral committee whether to grant them a general invitation or not.

"Sweet 16" (eng. "Sweet Sixteen") - round 1/8 Madness.

"Magnificent (elite) eight" (eng. "Elite 8") - Madness quarter-finals. I suggest the “magnificent eight” option, which sounds more natural for a Russian-speaking person.

"Final Four" (eng. "Final Four") - the semi-finals of Madness.

"Cut down the nets" is a tradition where the team that wins the tournament cuts the nets from the ring as a souvenir. The tradition began in 1947. After winning the Southern Conference tournament, NC State coach "Wolfpack" asked the students to lift him onto their shoulders to cut the net off the hoop as a memento. Since then, the teams that win the tournament repeat his act and cut the grid.

Big Six Conference Championships

In college basketball, there is the concept of a conference-member of the "Big Six" (eng. "Power 6"). These are the most powerful and most successful conferences in college basketball.

Members:

BIG 10

BIG 12

ACC

SEC

PAC

Big East

Big East usually from one of the first two conferences. And the vast majority of the teams that receive general invitations are also from one of the Six conferences.

How did the tournament become what it is

Why is the tournament so popular?

Advertisement for Buffalo Wild Wings.

“Americans are incredibly loyal to their colleges and universities. It does not matter whether a person just entered the university or graduated 30 years ago, he is, without any doubt, an avid fan of his university team, considers it the best and the only one that deserves the championship title.

This is an exciting competition. Compared to the professional championship, college basketball has fewer playoff matches, a sharper fight, and the final tournament is much faster. Even if their favorite teams don't make it to the finals, Americans still watch every game. Why? It's simple: unlike professional athletes, students do not play for money, but defend the honor of their schools and just love basketball.”[1]

A perfect explanation of the reasons for the popularity of the tournament. I will add a couple of nuances and explanations from myself.

“Why? It's simple: unlike professional athletes, students don't play for money, but defend the honor of their educational institutions and just love basketball." In addition, for many, this tournament is the only chance for talented guys from less prestigious teams or the conference to prove themselves in the run-up to the NBA draft. Therefore, "Madness", in function, in many respects reminds me of the Youth Ice Hockey World Championship (MChM). The best example of this phenomenon is Kenneth Farid of the Morehead State who are speaking at the Ohio Valley Conference.

The tournament is also of great importance for those players for whom a career in big-time sports will not go beyond the student level. The vast majority of NCAA boys and girls don't go pro. For many athletes, this is the last chance to play the real game before they become accountants, analysts or insurers and continue to play sports in amateur leagues.

Equally important are the fans' regional preferences. In many regions of the United States, there are no professional teams, and local residents become attached to local student teams. It is noteworthy that some of these fans do not even have higher education. For example, the Alabama and Auburn college football teams are hugely popular in a state where there are no professional teams, and American football is the most popular sport by a wide margin. The opposite is true of the limited interest in college sports in big cities like New York.

NIT vs. The Madness

Many people will be surprised to learn that the Madness hasn't always been the premier college basketball tournament. In the middle of the last century, the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) was much more prestigious than the NCAA tournament. For those who are more or less familiar with college basketball, yes, this is the same NIT that now has a reputation as a repechage tournament. In the 1950s, the NCAA basketball tournament began to gain prestige after the NCAA began requiring conference champions to play in their own tournament.

NCAA vs. NBA

College basketball (in the US) is considered by many to be more popular than the NBA due to the reasons given earlier. This is confirmed by television ratings.

I personally prefer college basketball to professional basketball. Yes, there are problems at the student level: bribes to players, players play for one season - a tactic that has been called “one and done” (one [season] and tied up), and others.

But even if these problems are taken into account, the quality of the rivalry (mind you, not the class of the game) between the student and professional game is heaven and earth.

The last NBA game I watched was Game 7 of the Cavaliers and Warriors that I mentioned earlier. Follow the NBA regular season? No need, thanks. I'd rather paint the wall and watch it dry. Defense has long been forgotten in the NBA. Although it is the fault of the players, if the wrong look at the opponent is already a foul. Team game? What can be a team game in the era of "ISO" (an attack when a player one-on-one tries to beat another player). And to whom did this basketball surrender strongly? LeBron decided that his future career in show business was more important, and for the younger generation, “likes” were more important than titles. Even the stars in college basketball have to work hard to collect likes to get into the NBA first.

Grid (Gridology)

How is a grid constructed?

In addition to the 32 teams that receive an automatic invitation, the electoral committee must identify 36 teams that are worthy of a general invitation. Then you need to seed each of the teams in one of 16 pots, where the first is the best, and the sixteenth is the worst. And in the end, all these teams must be distributed among the regions in such a way that each of the regional grids is competitive.

Upsets

Perhaps the most interesting part of Madness is the upsets. The best example is last year's Virginia Cavaliers upset by the University of Maryland-Baltimore County. This was the first time in tournament history that a pot 16 team beat a pot 1 team in the first round. Every year a Cinderella appears, which not only kills the overwhelming majority of the fans' bracket, but also progresses quite far in the tournament. The most notable examples are the Butler Bulldogs and the Virginia Rams Commonwealth University.

Big money

Madness is not only big sport, but also big money.

Baracketology

It is worth noting that former US President Barack Obama is a big fan of the tournament and during his two terms as the country's commander in chief, the "presidential bracket" has become a tradition.

This year

This is how the current year grid looks like.

Who to follow?

I want to immediately thank Alexander Gorokhov, the founder of the blog Dilettante's Notes. He made a gorgeous list, to which I added my players and my comments. Upvote it and subscribe.

Jarrett Kalver ( “ TEXAS ” , attacking defender, STRUCTION)

Statistics of the season: 18.5 points, 6.3 selection, 3.6 programs, 1 .3 3PTM, 1.3 steals

Suggested draft range: The first five

The best potential franchise: “ Atlanta HOX ”

Type among NBA players: Caris Leveris

Jarrett Kalver was able to turn from a potential ordinary role -player, on his shoulders of the pulling Tekhas “Tekhas with their bombarding talents.

He managed to attract the attention of NBA scouts, who initially did not see anything special in him. He redesigned his running style, and now, thanks to stride length and faster runs, 19The 8cm guard is a more mature player than he was in his freshman year. At the same time, he became a better finisher, realizing almost 6 percent better than the previous year - 58.8% of all shots.

His shooting has evolved this season, allowing him to add more than 97 three-pointers to his stats and to his overall arsenal of mid to long range shots.

Culver doesn't have to lead Texas far in the tournament to get a coveted 2019 Draft green room call.of the year. He has already become one of the most gifted players in the country in both halves of the floor, and is potentially at least a top 5 pick in this draft.

Arrett ( “ DUK ” , attacking defender/light forward, freshman)

Season statistics: 22. 9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.9 3-pointers

Predicted draft range: top three

The best potential franchise: “ New York NIX ” / “ Phoenix Sans ”

Type among NBA players: Michael Radd

18-year-old Er Jay, Killed team of team practically does not slow down its momentum during the season, starting with the first game against Kentucky and 33 points against them.

He has exactly the mentality of an alpha player, the very X-factor on the floor that the teams tanking now so badly need. And during this NCAA tournament, he will definitely have a chance to show it, given Barrett's history of winning in high school and at the FIBA ​​and Nike Hoop Summit international competitions.

Barrett has an untrained instinct to create shooting opportunities for himself in every match by constantly improvising and involving partners. He may not be the best shooter or assist, but his 1.9 3-pointers and 4.1 assists per game reflect underrated passing and chance-creating skills.

Barrett's biggest questions concern his timing and ability to create easy shots for himself as the game slows down. According to Synergy Sports, Barrett ranks only 53rd among the players on these indicators.

Still, competitiveness, PR and his own will should keep Barrett in the top five picks in this draft.

JA Morant ( “ Murray Steit ” , playing, STRUCTION)

Statistics of the season: 24.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 10.0 gear, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 6 3-pointers

Predicted draft range: Top four

Best potential franchise: « Dallas Mavericks »

NBA player type: Dearon Fox

Ja Morant, arguably the most exciting breakout star in the country, will be the focus of attention at the NCAA Tournament as for fans who have only seen the high lights as the season progresses, and to NBA scouts hoping to reaffirm the significance of Jah's regular season results and potential.

His ability to tackle fast breaks speaks for itself, but he deserves the highest praise primarily for his vision and playmaking skills. He is an outstanding attacking specialist, able to destroy even the deepest defenses, create chances for teammates and shoot equally well with both hands.

His scoring ability is also undeniable as he scores more possession points than any other player in the country. Morant is able to put a lot of pressure on the opponent's defense and find ingenious ways to finish attacks both in front of the basket and under it.

Scouts will be watching his jump shot during the tournament, probably more than anyone else. The throw remains his biggest issue, which could keep him from moving to the NBA. He's shooting 33.6 percent from threes, though his 1.6 shots per game is a marked improvement from last year's 0.8.

Kobi White ( “ North Carolina ” , playing/attacking defender, freshman)

Statistics of the season: 16. 3 points, 4.2 programs, 2.4 three -year

Predicted Draft Range: Lottery

Best Potential Franchise: Memphis Grizzlies

Season stats: 18.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 7.6 assists

drafted range Lottery

Best Potential Franchise: Early to Tell

NBA Player Type: Ray Felton

Aside from his height, it turns out that Winston has a lot to offer. He is deceptively fast, I would even say he changes speeds flawlessly, he understands the game well and makes very few mistakes at the moment.

He doesn't stand out in any way, but he is a stable player, keeps his composure in difficult moments, which was especially expressed in the last minutes of the BIG 10 tournament final, and therefore I think that he will become a useful player at a professional level.

Ignas Brazdeekis (Michigan, Light forward , Fighter)

Statistics of the season: 15.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 0.9 programs

9000 9000 9000

003 Predicted Draft Range:

Best Potential Franchise: Early to Tell

NBA Player Type: Gordon Hayward

He is Michigan's most scoring player this season, which was very evident against Michigan State. At one point, he alone had more points than all the Spartans combined in the final of the BIG 10 tournament and it was he who scored the first 9Wolverines points in that game.

He also makes few mistakes, as evidenced by his low loss rate (8.9 percent). He also has good athleticism and self-confidence.

It should be noted that in order to achieve more, Ignas needs to play more passes and switch to the role of a passer when the game does not go well or the opponent starts to pinch him. In the finals of the BIG 10 tournament, Spartans changed their defense scheme against Ignas and he seemed to disappear after a fiery start to the match.

And maybe you've heard of him...

Zion Williamson (Duke, PF/C, freshman)

Season stats: 22.1 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.2 interceptions, 1.8 blocks

Predictable draft range: No. 1 without options

Best potential franchise: “ Phoenix Sans ” / “ New York NIKS ”

Potential appsets.

A match between teams from (5) - (12) pots usually results in the most upsets. This year I think it is (5)-(12) that will give the first upset: (12) Murray State Racers will beat (5) Marquette Golden Eagles. The Racers lost 4 games all year, two of which were against Alabama and Auburn SEC teams. Auburn generally became the champion of the SEC tournament. In addition, Ja Morant will play the consensus second pick in the upcoming draft against the Golden Eagles. It is also worth noting that Marchette lost 5 of their last 6 games before the tournament.

The potential for the biggest upset is in the game (14) Yale - (3) Louisiana State. I personally think that under normal circumstances, Louisiana State would have struggled but definitely beat an Ivy League team. But after the suspension of coach Will Wade for his part in a corruption scandal aimed at bribing players, I'm not so sure of their victory. The suspension of the Louisiana State coach was evident in their loss in the SEC tournament. In the meantime, Yale is playing very solidly, as shown by the game with the favorite of the Ivy League tournament, Harvard.

Last game I watch: (13) Vermont - (4) Florida State. This game depends a lot on Florida State and how much they want to play. Last year, Florida State reached a perfect eight and was 4 points behind the last four. 8 players from last year's team are playing for Florida State this year. Plus, this team took out the tournament favorite ACC "Virginia" in the semifinals of the tournament. Against them is a rival that many consider to be one of the best teams outside of the big six. I still think Florida State will win, but I wouldn't be surprised if Vermont won.

My net!

I remind you that the first four have already played, and the first round begins with Minnesota and Louisville) at 19.15 Moscow time. Happy viewing everyone!

Why should I choose basketball?

Basketball is an exciting sport suitable for people of all skill levels and ages as it is popular all over the world.

A standard basketball team consists of five players per side. You can also play 2v2 or 3v3 games, or you can play by yourself. You can play basketball on the indoor court all year round.

The main objective of the game is to score points by shooting the ball through the hoop. Use defensive strategies to prevent other teams from scoring.

You can play basketball in a playful and competitive way. Either way, it's a great way to build strength, coordination, and muscle endurance. In addition, you have the opportunity to become part of a team or a larger community.
