El National Invitation Tournament (NIT) es un torneo de baloncesto masculino universitario estadounidense, organizado por la NCAA. Esta asociacin disputa dos torneos anuales. El primero de ellos, disputado en noviembre y conocido como Dick's Sporting Goods NIT Season Tip-Off (anteriormente Preseason NIT), fue creado en 1985. El segundo, y ms importante, es un torneo de postemporada celebrado desde 1938 en marzo y abril, y actualmente conocido como MasterCard NIT. En ambos torneos, las rondas finales se disputan en el Madison Square Garden en Nueva York, y eran organizados por la Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball Association (MIBA) hasta 2005, cuando la NCAA compr los derechos del NIT.
Historia
El torneo de postemporada NIT, fundado en 1938, es ms antiguo que el Torneo de la NCAA por un ao y es el segundo torneo universiatrio ms veterano, slo superado por el Torneo de la NAIA, que fue fundado por James Naismith en 1937. El primer National Invitation Tournament fue ganado por Temple. El NIT fue creado por la Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association en 1938. La responsabilidad de su administracin fue trasladado dos aos ms tarde a los colegios locales, primeramente conocido como Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball Committee y, en 1948, como Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball Association (MIBA), representada por cinco universidades de Nueva York: Universidad de Fordham, Manhattan College, Universidad de Nueva York, Universidad St. John's y Wagner College. Originalmente todos los equipos clasificados para el torneo fueron invitados a Nueva York, y todos los partidos se jugaron en el Madison Square Garden. El torneo masculino se compona de slo seis equipos, que ms tarde se ampli a 8 equipos en 1941, 12 en 1949, 14 en 1965, 16 en 1968, 24 en 1979, 32 en 1980, 40 desde 2002 hasta 2005, y 64 en 2006. El torneo regres a los 32 equipos en 2007. En los primeros aos del torneo, el NIT a menudo contaba con los mejores equipos universitarios de la nacin, debido a que haba una cobertura nacional limitada de baloncesto universitario, por lo que el evento se celebraba en Nueva York para aprovechar el enorme tirn meditico de la ciudad para patrocinar a los equipos y jugadores. Por entonces, el torneo de la NCAA contaba en su mayora con equipos campeones de conferencia. Durante los 15 primeros aos del NIT, existi la controversia con el torneo de la NCAA sobre cual de ellos era superior. La Helms Athletic Foundation, que seleccionaba un campen anual de baloncesto universitario, opt solamente por el ganador del NIT en una ocasin, en 1939.[2] Adems, desde 1943 hasta 1945 durante la II Guerra Mundial, la Cruz Roja Americana patrocin un partido entre los campeones anuales de la NCAA y del NIT para recaudar dinero para el conflicto. En los tres aos en los que se celebr el encuentro, el campen de la NCAA prevaleci.[3]
National Invitation Tournament Varios equipos han jugado ambos torneos en el mismo ao, siendo Duquesne, en 1940, el primero en hacerlo. En 1944 y 1948, el campen del torneo de la NCAA perdi sus primeros partidos en el torneo del NIT.[4] En 1950, City College of New York gan los torneos del NIT y de la NCAA en el mismo ao y permanece como la nica universidad en conseguirlo. A finales de los aos 1960, el torneo de la NCAA se convirti en el campeonato universitario mas importante. La NCAA comenz a incluir ms equipos en su torneo, mientras que el NIT iba perdiendo cach hasta convertirse en el torneo de "consolacin" que es a da de hoy. Sin embargo, en los aos 1970, el entrenador de Marquette Al McGuire, octavo clasificado en la encuesta final de la temporada de AP, rechaz una invitacin de la NCAA por la colocacin de su equipo en la Regin Medio Oeste, donde su equipo tena que jugar partidos ms lejos de casa que si lo hiciera en la Regin Medio Este. [5] Finalmente el equipo jug y gan el NIT. Tal accin actualmente sera una violacin de las normas de la NCAA, que prohbe el rechazo de las invitaciones al torneo de la NCAA.
Proceso de seleccin
En el pasado, los equipos del NIT eran seleccionados en consulta con la ESPN, la televisin que retransmite el NIT.[6] . El objetivo del NIT era mantener a la MIBA financialmente. Por lo tanto, las universidades seleccionadas para disputar el NIT eran normalmente equipos de conferencias importantes cercanas al 50% en victorias, ampliamente seguidas por televisin y con una buena asistencia de espectadores en sus partidos en casa. Esta ltima es una razn por la que New Mexico era invitado cada ao, a pesar de que lograban buenas temporadas pero no conseguan la clasificacin para el torneo de la NCAA.[7] Para aumentar el nivel del torneo, se cre una norma en la que se exiga a los equipos contar con un rcord de 50% en victorias durante la temporada regular para acceder al NIT. La NCAA anunci un nuevo proceso de seleccin que comenz en 2006. Las novedades principales eran: Los equipos ya no estn obligados a conseguir un 50% o ms de victorias para recibir invitaciones. A pesar de ello, todos los equipos que han sido invitados para disputar el torneo del NIT han logrado un 50% o ms de victorias. Similar a las invitaciones automticas que el torneo de la NCAA otorga a todos los campeones de los torneos de conferencia, todos los equipos campeones de conferencia en temporada regular pero que no participen en el torneo de la NCAA tienen garantizada una plaza en el NIT. ESPN dej de formar parte del proceso de seleccin de equipos, y en su lugar se cre un comit de antiguos entrenadores de la NCAA, presidido por Newton, y en el que se incluyen Gene Keady (Purdue), Don DeVoe (Tennessee), Rudy Davalos, Les Robinson (NC State), Reggie Minton (Air Force), John Powers y Carroll Williams, entre otros. El proceso de cabezas de serie es similar al del torneo de la NCAA, con la excepcin de que el primer cabeza de serie es el anfitrin de los partidos. ESPN continues to provide television coverage of the tournament. The NIT has a 10-year, $24.1 million contract with ESPN; this compares with the 11-year, $6.2 billion TV contract with CBS for the NCAA tournament. A partir del torneo de 2007, el NIT regres al formato de 32 equipos que ya utiliz desde 1980 hasta 2001, eliminando los ochos partidos de ronda previa. El torneo cuenta con cuatro regiones de ocho equipos. El formato no afect a los equipos automticamente clasificados al NIT por liderar su respectiva conferencia a final de temporada regular y que no entran al torneo de la NCAA. Siete equipos lograron una plaza en el NIT por esta va en 2006. El 19 de marzo de 2007 se estableci un nuevo rcord de asistencia en un partido del NIT, el que enfrentaba a Syracuse con San Diego State en el Carrier Dome en Siracusa (Nueva York). Syracuse gan el partido por 80-64 con una cifra total de 26.752 espectadores. El rcord anterior era de 23.522, logrado por Kentucky en 1979.
Torneo femenino
Desde 1969 existe el Women's National Invitation Tournament. Comenz como un torneo de ocho equipos disputado en Amarillo (Texas), y en 2009 se expandi a 48 equipos. No obstante, slo comparte con el NIT el nombre, ya que no est organizado por la MIBA ni por la NCAA.

NIT History
Forty-seven years after he invented the game of college basketball, Dr. James A. Naismith stood at center court in New York's Madison Square Garden and presented the National Invitation Tournament championship trophy to the undeated Blackbirds of Long Island University. Tradition. The NIT is steeped in it. The nation's oldest postseason collegiate basketball tournament was founded in 1938. The college game that was born and nurtured in tiny campus gyms and armories, came of age when the games were moved to public arenas to accommodate its ever-growing popularity. A group of New York City sportswriters, known as the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association came up with the idea of creating a tournament to determine a national champion. The tournament plan was met with immediate success and grew so quickly that the writers felt that it was in the tournament's best interest to turn its administration over to local colleges. Thus, two years after its founding, the NIT was taken over by the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball Committee (MIBC), and then, in 1948, the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball Association (MIBA) took charge. The MIBA was composed of representatives from five of the original members of the MIBC: Fordham University, Manhattan College, New York University, St. John's University, and Wagner College. A new chapter in the long and storied history of the NIT unfolded in August 2005, when the NIT, L.L.C., which is owned by the NCAA, took over the tournament reins. Another first in the 69-year history of the NIT is that an independent at-large committee chose the NIT field. The selection committee, all former Division I men's head basketball coaches, is comprised of Hall of Famers C.M. Newton and Dean Smith, along with Don DeVoe, Reggie Minton, former NIT Executive Director Jack Powers and Carroll Williams. Newton , who brings more than 50 years of experience to the game of college basketball, will serve as committee chair. The NIT had somewhat humble beginnings. The original field was made up of six teams and in 1941, expanded to eight. Subsequently, the tournament grew to 16 teams in 1968. The early editions of the NIT were played in the "old" Madison Square Garden, located between 49th and 50th Streets, where it remained for 30 years. It was in 1968, when another change took place. The NIT moved to the "new" Garden, described by the late Pulitzer Prize winning sportswriter, Red Smith, as "the most famous and glamorous arena in creation." The Garden on 33rd Street. It is here that the NIT and the "World's Most Famous Arena" continue their illustrious relationship. In 1977, the late Peter A. Carlesimo, the former athletics director at Fordham University who served on the MIBA, took over as the NIT's first full-time Executive Director. Fan interest was beginning to wane, and changes had to be made. Carlesimo, along with the MIBA, implemented a plan that would allow college basketball fans to see their local favorites in postseason play. The innovation involved playing at campus sites or local arenas throughout the country, with the four remaining teams coming to New York for the championship round. The first NIT game to be played outside of Madison Square Garden took place when Georgetown lost at Virginia Tech, 83-79. Tickets for the game sold out in three hours. The revised format proved to be a rebirth for the NIT. So much so, the field was increased to 24 teams in 1979, upped to 32 teams in 1980 and finally 40 teams in 2002. After careful consideration the NIT Committee returned to a 32 team format in 2006, and the 2007 postseason field will feature 32 teams. Throughout its history, the NIT has showcased some of the greats talents in college basketball. The list of coaches and players who have contributed to the countless memories and launching of careers is a long and impressive one. The NIT's role has certainly changed in its almost seven-decade existence, but it still remains a vital part of collegiate basketball.
Postseason Overview
The National Invitation Tournament (NIT) is the oldest tournament in college basketball. The NIT was started in 1938. It was the first national postseason collegiate tournament to be played in the country. The NCAA followed 1 year later with a tournament of their own. The tournament was originally played entirely at Madison Square Garden in New York. The opening rounds of the tournament were later moved from New York to campus sites in 1977. The Garden was reserved solely for the semifinals and the finals. This is currently how the tournament is still played. When the tournament first started in 1938, the original field consisted of only 6 teams. It was later expanded to 8 teams in 1941, 12 teams in 1949, 14 teams in 1965 16 teams in 1968, 24 teams in 1979, 32 teams in 1980 and finally to 40 teams in 2002. Over the years, the NIT has provided many memories. In between Temple winning the first NIT title in 1938 behind a defensive center named Meyer Bloom and Nebraska winning its first basketball title of any kind in 1996, there have been many memories. Some of these memories include, Abe Lemons of Oklahoma City being so mad at his team at halftime that he kept them out on the floor for a shirts vs. skins scrimmage in 1968. No, there was no miracle comeback. Duke won the game. Another great memory came in 1970 from Al Maguire of Marquette who turned down the NCAA bid to play in the NIT. His Warriors won the tournament that year with a dream guard named Dean Meminger Throughout the duration of the tournament, the NIT has seen many great players. Some of the former MVP's include such NBA players as: George Mikan, DePaul (1945) Lenny Wilkens, Providence (1960) Walt Frazier, Southern Illinois (1967) Ralph Sampson, Virginia (1980) Reggie Miller, UCLA (1985) Jayson Williams, St. John's (1989) Adam Keefe, Stanford (1991) Bryant Stith, Virginia (1992) Voshon Lenard, Minnesota (1993) Erick Strickland, Nebraska (1996) Robert Traylor, Michigan (1997) In the past, there have been several teams that have had a final four finish in the NIT in one year and then followed it up the following year with a final four finish in the NCAA. The list includes:

NIT Season Tip-Off / Preseason NIT Overview

Peter Carlesimo was trying to save a tournament. The final step in his plan turned out to be brilliant: Start another tournament. The NIT was having trouble surviving in the college basketball culture of the 1980's. The NCAA tournament had become the star of the sports world every March and its shadow was growing yearly. Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were followed by moments of madness made by Michael Jordan and Jim Valvano. The NIT had age on its side - it started in 1938, one year before the NCAA. And for a while the NIT had more, then as much prestige as the NCAA. But things changed with the expansion of the NCAA field and the introduction of television into the picture. The NIT was second, and Peter Carlesimo, the tournament's executive director, wanted to make sure it would always be around, even as No. 2. In the late 1970's, he got the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball Association - the five-school board that ran the tournament - to move early round games to campus sites, bringing survivors rather than the whole field to New York. Still, something had to be done to keep the National Invitaion Tournament successful in tough economic times. How about a preseason version of the NIT? A chance to stage some good early season match-ups and get fans interested in college basketball at a time of the year when football, pro and college, were the main interests of the sporting public. Carlesimo had a great idea that had some hurdles to clear. "Pete broached the idea and along with the committee, it was approved," recalled John W. Kaiser, the longtime athletic director at St. John's who served as president of the MIBA for 15 years, including the time the postseason grew and the preseason was conceived. "What we had to do was bring it before the NCAA convention to get premission from the membership to do it. With a lot of work it was approved and we could go ahead with it." The first preseason NIT, it was known then as the BIG Apple NIT, was going to be played in November 1985. Carlesimo did a pretty nice job of getting schools to participate in his regional concept tournament. Four-team minitournaments were played in Hartford, Cincinnati, Houston and Denver. The four winners advanced to Madison Square Garden for the semifinals and championship game. The survivors to the first semifinals were an impressive group: Duke, St. John's, Louisville and Kansas - three-quarters of the Final Four played four months later when Louisville won a second national championship for Denny Crum and Duke made the first of 10 Final Four appearances for Mike Krzyzewski. The number of people who saw the teams reach New York wasn't. The regional concept for the early rounds was a bust. "The first year, the area sites did not go very well. There was sparse attendance," Kaiser said. "After that we changed to the home campus format. It took a couple of years to take, but basically we were able to get very fine teams, so it took off." Carlesimo was sure the change in the early rounds was going to be difference. When a news conference was held to announce the new format, Carlesimo capped it with a definitive statement in his deep, booming voice. "We are all certain that the Big Apple NIT is destined to be a college basketball institution," Carlesimo said that day. He was right. Other preseason tournaments were just getting their legs under them. The Great Alaska Shootout started in 1978. The Maui Invitational didn't hit the national landscape until 1982 when tiny Chaminade upset No. 1 Virginia and Ralph Sampson. "Peter Carlesimo will be remembered for shepherding the NIT through a difficult time," said Dave Gavitt, one of college basketball's most influential leaders and the first commissioner of the Big East Conference. "He did some very creative and unique things with the NIT."
The Preseason NIT kept its promise to include the mid-major conferences in its fields. Ohio University, led by Gary Trent, won the tournament in 1994. The Preseason NIT also kept its promise of having high quality fields. It's been tough to find a year when the participating coaches haven't complained about the level of the competition, the highest compliment a tournament organizer can receive. The Preseason NIT and the NIT have changed hands this year with the NCAA now in charge. Things shouldn't be too different from the way Peter Carlesimo left them when he retired in 1988. That was the year they named the Preseason NIT championship throphy in his honor. Three of the early Preseason NITs were amoung the most important of the 20 played. 1985. The first has to mean a lot to the future of any event and the inaugural Preseason NIT drew headlines right away. No.5 Kansas, No.6 Duke, No.9 Louisville and No. 18 St. John's made it to the Garden, and Duke won it all with a 92-86 victory over Kansas. When the Final Four was decided at the end of the season, there was suddenly a lot of looking back to Thanksgiving weekend and people started realizing how much of an impact a preseason tournment could have. "That was a dream final four four for us," Carlesimo said at the time. "That's why people want a tournament like this." Duke had one of the country's top backcourts in Johnny Dawkins and Tommy Amaker, but the first MVP award went to forward David Henderson, the Blue Devils' sixth man and defensive specialist who started in place of injured center Jay Bilas. Henderson scored a career-high 30 points on 12-for-14 shooting. Henderson was joined on the all-tournament team by Watler Berry of St. John's, who went on to be selected national player of the year, Pervis Ellision of Louisville, went on to become the first freshman to be selected MVP of the Final Four in 42 years, Dawkins, Ron Kellogg of Kansas and Billy Thompson of Louisville. 1986. Preseason NIT No. 2 big because of the "three." The NCAA had introduced a major change to college basketball in 1986 with the addition of the 45-second shot clock (it would be changed to 35 seconds for the 1993-94 season). The 1986-87 season was going to see the addition of the three-point arc, something that had been used on an experimental basis, but was now on every court, 19 feet, 9 inches from the hoop. The Preseason NIT was a perfect showcase for everyone to see how big an impact the line was going to be, and UNLV and coach Jerry Tarkanian made sure everyone noticed, and noticed, and noticed. UNLV rallied from from a 21-point deficit to beat Western Kentucky, 96-95, in double overtime in the championship game. The Runnin' Rebels made 10-of-27 three-point attempts. The Hilltoppers went 1-for-4. While fans in the Garden were still buzzing about Freddie Banks and Gerald Paddio hitting the long jumpers worth an extra point, firstyear Western Kentucky coach Murray Arnold was leading the nay side of the issue. "They've made a mockery of the three-piont goal," he said after the title game. "I said all along that it was a bad rule and tonight was an example of it. Tonight was an example why the rules committee should come back to their senses and bring back sanity to the game." When the Final Four was played in New Orleans the next March, UNLV and the "three" were again the topic of conversation. In the national semifinals against Indiana, Banks made 10 three's, a Final Four record that still stands. It seemed like every time one of his three's fell, every eye in the SuperDome turned to see the reaction of Hoosiers coach Bob Knight. How it impressed Knight was visible two nights later when Indiana beat Syracuse, 74-73, in the title game and Steve Alford of the Hoosiers hit seven three's, still tied for the most in a championship game.
1989. How big the Preseason NIT could be in a team's season was illustrated in fifth edition of the tournament. Kansa was in its second season under coach Roy Williams. The Jayhawks were working through probation his first season and they weren't garnering a whole lot of attention in year two. Kansas was picked anywhere from fifth to eighth in the preseason Big Eight polls. Nationally, the Jayhawks weren't even among others receiving votes in national Top 25s. But Kansas was in the Preseason NIT field, along with No. 1 UNLV, No. 2 LSU and No. 25 St. John's. Following a first-round win over Alabama-Birmingham, those teams were the Jayhawks' victims on the way to the title. The story has long made the rounds that Williams was playing in a charity golf event in the offseason when he overheard a TV executive talking about the LSU-UNLV matchup as one of the best in recent memories. Williams went back to Lawrence and let them know there was no reason to bother playing the LSU game because everyone knew who the winner would be. A good coach gets better with motivation on hand. The Jayhawks beat LSU, and star guard Chris Jackson and freshman center Shaquille O'Neal, 89-83. Then top-ranked UNLV went down, 91-77, and finally Kansas beat St. John's on its second homecourt, 66-57. Kansa went from unranked to No. 4, still the biggest jump-in the history of the AP poll. The Jayhawks started a run of NCAA tournament appearances that season that continues today. The Preseason NIT got it all going.
Some of the former MVP's of the tournament include: Vernon Maxwell, Florida (1987) Sherman Douglas, Syracuse (1988) Chris Mills, Arizona (1990) Byron Houston, Oklahoma State (1991) Calbert Cheaney, Indiana (1992) Gary Trent, Ohio (1994) Allen Iverson, Georgetown (1995) Andrae Patterson, Indiana (1996) Paul Pierce, Kansas (1997) Gilbert Arenas, Arizona (1999) Carlos Boozer, Duke (2000) Rashad McCants, North Carolina (2002) Shelden Williams, Duke (2005) Many other great players have passed through this tournament as well.

NIT SEASON TIP-OFF HISTORY

The idea of a preseason NIT came to the late Executive Director Peter A. Carlesimo in the early 1980s as a way to support its older sibling, the postseason NIT. The expansion of the NCAA field and the lack of a television contract threatened the continuation of the nations oldest postseason tournament, which was founded in 1938 by a group of New York City sportswriters. The NCAA tournament, founded a year after the NIT, continued its climb as the rising star, and every March the star shone a bit brighter. From the beginning, all NIT games were played in the tournaments home, Madison Square Garden. However, attendance was waning, and fans were staying away until the semifinals and finals. Carlesimo breathed new life into the storied event in 1977 by playing early round games on campus sites, saving Madison Square Garden for just the semifinals and finals. The format change helped tremendously, though Carlesimo felt that in order to ensure a healthy future for the postseason NIT additional support would have to be provided. Thus, the preseason NIT. The first preseason NIT was played in November of 1985 and was known as the Big Apple NIT. The field featured 16 teams, as it still does. However, four-team doubleheaders were played in Hartford, Cincinnati, Houston and Denver. The four winners advanced to Madison Square Garden over the Thanksgiving holiday for the semifinals and championship doubleheaders. As impressive as the teams were in the inaugural event, attendance was not. Carlesimo took a page from the postseason NIT playbook and changed the format to what proved so successful in the postseason NIT early round games at campus sites. The move righted the ship, and the Preseason NIT quickly established itself as the standard to which other early season tournaments aspired. The four teams in the first semifinals was an impressive group: Duke, St. Johns, Louisville and Kansas three-quarters of the Final Four that played four months later when Louisville won a second national championship for Denny Crum, and Duke made the first of 10 Final Four appearances for Mike Krzyzewski. Success in the NIT Season Tip-Off tournament often is a forecast for success later in March as 74 of 100 Tip-Off finalists have gone on to play in the NCAA Tournament. Following appearances in New York for the NIT semis, Duke (three times), UNLV and Connecticut each went on to win the national championship later that year. The Preseason NIT and the NIT changed hands in 2005 and are now administered by the NIT, LLC, which comes under the umbrella of the NCAA. That same year, an inaugural at-large committee was formed to select teams and oversee the running of the tournament.
The original NIT Selection Committee featured two Naismith Hall of Famers, C.M. Newton, who still serves as chair, and legendary North Carolina coach Dean Smith. Rounding out the committee then was Don DeVoe, Reggie Minton, Jack Powers and Carroll Williams. Five of the six original members still serve, with the exception of Coach Smith. Three additional well-known members of the college basketball community have since been added: Rudy Davalos, Les Robinson and Bob Weltlich. Legendary Purdue coach Gene Keady also had a stint on the committee. The selection committee is overseen by Greg Shaheen, President of the NIT, LLC. The 2008 NIT Season Tip-Off featured a format enhancement. Instead of a minimum guarantee of two games, all teams were guaranteed four games. As in past years, the winners of the four regional sites played for the championship in New Yorks Madison Square Garden. The teams that lost moved on to a consolation round at three sites determined by a seeding process. No teams will play each other twice. This tourney format was used in 2009 and will continue in 2010. The NIT Season Tip-Off, which celebrated its 25th anniversary last November, truly is College basketballs beginning.
Shelden Williams earned MVP honors in 2005, leading the Duke Blue Devils to the third of four tournament titles.

The NIT Has Played a Vital Role in College Basketball

Seventy-three years. Countless games, innumerable players and coaches, millions of fans. The NIT. Its been around since 1938, and has endured wars, scandals and NCAA expansion to continue to showcase some of the finest teams, coaches and players college basketball has to offer. How did it come about? A ripped suit. Hard to believe, but its true. Ned Irish, a New York City sportswriter was assigned to cover a game in Manhattan Colleges tiny campus facility, Alumni Hall. The year was 1933. Arriving a bit late, Irish found the Jaspers gym to be packed and he couldnt get in. Knowing full well his editors would not be very sympathetic to his plight, the young Irish scaled a wall and dropped in on the game through an open window, ripping his suit on the way down. It was then he thought why not take the games out of the undersized home courts and play them in large, public arenas? The following year, 1934, Irish, in his new capacity at Madison Square Garden, booked the first big-time college doubleheader, featuring St. Johns and Westminster in the first game, and Notre Dame squaring off against New York University (NYU) in the second matchup. An unheard-of crowd of 16,138 was on hand to witness the birth of a new era in the college game. Shortly after, the idea of crowning a national champion began to surface among the New York City sports-writers, driven by the late Irving Marsh of the Herald Tribune and the late Everett Morris of the Times. In 1938, the idea became a reality when six teams were brought into the old Garden at 49th Street and 8th Avenue to find out who was the best in the land by being crowned NIT champion. The NIT, now in its 74th year, is the nations oldest postseason collegiate basketball tournament. In an effort to accommodate local teams, the NIT field increased to 12 in 1949 and stayed at that number until 1965, when the Committee added two more to make it 14. Three years later, they invited an additional two to bring the total to 16. The field stayed constant, and all games were played in Madison Square Garden until the mid1970s. New York fans came in droves as long as a local favorite was playing, but stayed away when out-of-towners took the court. Attendance was down and the NIT, for the first time since its inception, had hit upon hard times. Thats when the late Peter A. Carlesimo, the first full-time executive director of the NIT, tested an idea he had been tossing around. With the approval of the MIBA, instead of Georgetown playing Virginia Tech at the Garden, the Hoyas were sent to Blacksburg to play the Hokies. The game sold out in three hours. In 1941, the NIT field increased to eight teams, and the Tournament entered perhaps its most glorious times. Two years prior, the NCAA implemented a tournament and played the eight-team field in the Garden as well, but it was the NIT that was the Tournament. During the years of World War II, the NIT teams would square off against the NCAA teams in a jam-packed Madison Square Garden. The NIT remained with six teams in 1939, but at its conclusion, the administration of the Tournament was transferred to local New York City colleges, first known as the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball Commission, and then later as the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Basketball Association (MIBA). The MIBA was composed of representatives of Fordham University, Manhattan College, New York University, St. Johns University and Wagner College. The first year of NIT action succeeded beyond everyones expectations. Before a packed house, NYU edged Long Island University on a last-second shot by Danny Dowd. Temple defeated Bradley and then knocked off Oklahoma A&M, a bye team. The other bye team, Colorado, edged NYU, but then Temple clobbered Colorado, 6036, to be named the first NIT champion.

HISTORY
The following year, 1977, all early round games were played regionally with the four finalists coming to New York City to play in the Garden. Many consider 1977 to be the year the NIT was reborn. We took a chance when we experimented with the regional play, but it paid off and instant success followed, recalled Carlesimo, who ran the NIT for 12 years before handing the reins as executive director to John J. Powers. The revised format, the most striking change in NIT history, is responsible for the tourney compiling record-breaking attendance figures, including the 1981 tally of 326,466, the largest fan turnout in NIT annals. The NIT set a single-game attendance record in 1979 in Lexington, Ky., when 23,522 spectators watched Clemson defeat Kentucky in overtime. That mark was broken in 2007 when Syracuse packed 26,752 fans in the Carrier Dome for its second-round victory over San Diego State. The regional concept worked so well that once again the Committee felt the need to expand, this time from 24 teams to 32 in 1980, which is how it remained for 22 years. The single-game scoring record was set in 1977 when Anthony Roberts poured in 65 points for Oral Roberts, but it was all in vain as Oregon pulled out a 9089 win in Tulsa. Al Inniss of St. Francis (N.Y.) still holds the rebound record when he handled 37 caroms against Lafayette in 1956. Since the NITs inception, close to 300 schools have participated in the tournament with St. Johns holding the record for most appearances with 28 and most NIT titles with six. Many thought that when the NCAA Tournament expanded its field to 64 teams, the NIT would just go away. But that has not happened. The NIT provides a much-needed opportunity to programs that are on the upswing, to clubs that were disappointed by the NCAA and to teams that had successful regular seasons but were upset in conference tournament play, explained Powers, who ran the NIT for 16 years. The National Invitation Tournament, now in its eighth decade, has played a vital role in shaping the history of college basketball, and although that role has changed with time, the NIT is as important now as it ever was. A new chapter in the long and storied history of the NIT unfolded in August of 2005 when the NIT, L.L.C., which is owned by the NCAA, took over the tournament reins. Another first in the 73-year history of the NIT is that an independent at-large committee now chooses the tourney field. The selection committee is chaired by Hall of Famer C.M Newton, who has more than 50 years of college basketball experience. He is joined by Rudy Davalos, Don DeVoe, Reggie Minton, Les Robinson, Bob Weltlich, Carroll Williams and former NIT executive director Jack Powers.
South Carolina celebrates its second consecutive NIT title in 2006. The Gamecocks are one of just two teams to win back-to-back NIT championships.
Throughout the past 73 years, the NIT has seen its share of shooting styles: set shots, jump shots, layups, dunks; and of defenses: man-to-man, zone traps, full-court presses, half-court traps. The parade of players reads like a Whos Who in the game of basketball Red Holzman, George Mikan, Dick McGuire, Bob Cousy, Tom Gola, Bob Lanier, Walt Frazier, Len Wilkens, Tom McMillen, Cedric Maxwell, Ralph Sampson, Reggie Miller. And the coaches Harry Litwack, Joe Lapchick, Clair Bee, Nat Holman, Phog Allen, Ray Meyer, Chuck Orsborne, Kenny Norton, Al McGuire, Denny Crum, Joe B. Hall, Lou Carnesecca, Pete Carril, Bob Knight, Jim Boeheim, Rick Pitino all of whom are just a smattering of great names associated with the college game.

National Invitation Tournament (NIT) Principles and Procedures for Establishing the Bracket
There are three phases in the process: I. Select 32 teams. II. Seed the teams. III. Place the teams into the bracket. 4. Committee members rank the eight teams on the ballot using a crosscountry scoring system (i.e., the best team is valued at one point). 5. The four teams receiving the fewest points shall be added to the at-large field. The remaining four teams will be held for the next cross-country ballot. 6. Steps No. 2, 3, 4 and 5 will be repeated until all probable berths are filled. 7. If a team fails to be included among the four teams receiving the fewest points (Step No. 5) for two consecutive ballots, it shall be returned to the nomination board. 8. A team may be removed from the at-large field by a vote of all but two of the eligible voters. Such a team would be returned to the nomination board. 9. At any time during the process of selecting the teams, the committee may elect to begin seeding the teams. 10. At any time during the process, the chair may suggest that the committee begin considering teams that should be eliminated from the nomination board. The same voting procedures will be used. 11. At any time during the process, the chair may call for a cross-country vote of the teams remaining. 12. The chair has the option to revise from four to two the number of teams to be moved into berths per Procedure No. 5.
General Principles for Selection, Seeding and Bracketing

The NIT selection committee will abide by the following principles: At no point in the process shall a member vote for a team the individual has represented as a coach, athletics director or commissioner. All votes will be by secret ballot. Among the resources available to the committee are computer rankings, head-to-head results, chronological results, Division I results, nonconference results, home and away results, rankings, polls and the NABC regional advisory committee rankings. The regular-season champion of any NCAA Division I conference (as determined by the conferences tie-break protocol) not otherwise selected to the NCAA Division I Mens Basketball Championship will secure an automatic qualification to the National Invitation Tournament. The committee shall select the best available teams to fill the NIT field. There is no limit on the number of teams the committee may select from one conference.
I. Principles for Selecting Teams

Procedures for Selecting At-Large Teams
1. Before selection weekend, each committee member will receive a ballot listing all eligible Division I teams in alphabetical order. On the ballot, each committee member shall identify not more than 32 teams that should be invited to the tournament based upon their successful play to date. Each committee member will submit the ballot at a predetermined time after arrival for selection weekend. 2. A member should not vote for a team that has earned automatic qualification to the NCAA Tournament, or is a conferences regular season champion. 3. Any team receiving all but one of the eligible votes on the ballot shall be moved into the tournament as an at-large selection. 4. The committee will form a nomination board consisting of an alphabetical listing of all teams that: a. Received more than one vote in the initial ballot but did not receive enough votes on the ballot to the selection board, or b. Did not receive more than one vote in the initial balloting, but subsequently was recommended by more than one member prior to closing initial nominations. 5. The process for creating the initial nomination board will be closed. However, once closed, a team may be added to the nomination board only if it receives more than two eligible votes. A team may be removed from the nomination board if it receives all but two of the eligible votes. Verbal nominations are permitted.
II. Principles for Seeding of Teams

1. The committee will create a seed list (i.e., rank the teams 1 through approximately 56, to be determined by the chair.) The seed list is used as a reference to promote balance. 2. Once the seed list is established, it remains unchanged throughout the committees deliberations in placing the teams into the championship bracket. 3. The bracket-placement principles adopted by the committee may preclude a team from being placed in its true seed (in accordance with the seed list).
Remaining Ballots
1. Each committee member lists the best eight teams from the at-large and automatic qualifier teams (i.e., the NIT field), not ranked in order, from teams that are in the tournament. 2. Committee members rank the top eight vote-getters from Step No. 1, using a cross-country scoring system. 3. The four institutions receiving the fewest points from the cross-country scoring are moved into the seed list in order. 4. The remaining four teams are held for the next cross-country ballot. 5. Each committee member lists the eight best teams remaining from the at-large and automatic qualifier teams (i.e., the NIT field). The top four votegetters will join the four remaining teams on the next cross-country ballot. 6. Committee members rank the eight teams from Steps No. 4 and No. 5, using a cross-country scoring system. 7. The four teams receiving the fewest points are moved into the seed list in order. 8. Steps No. 4, 5, 6 and 7 are repeated until all the teams are seeded, 1 through 56 (or number designated by the chair), for the seed list.
Remaining Ballots
1. The committee will begin evaluating those teams on the nomination board. 2. Each committee member will submit a listing of the best eight teams from the nomination board to be added to the field. 3. Those teams receiving the most votes will comprise a pool of eight teams for the next ballot.
18
9. After a team has been voted into the seed list, it may be moved to a different position on the seed list by a vote of all but two of the eligible voters. 10. The committee is not obligated to seed the lines in chronological order. 11. After determination of seeded teams taken in the NCAA Division I Mens Basketball Championship, the seed list will be revised (compressed) and the teams 132 will comprise the NIT field.
Additional Considerations
1. A team moved out of its natural area will be placed in the next closest region when possible. 2. If possible, rematches of regular-season games should be avoided in the first round.
Procedures for Placing the Teams into the Bracket

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Place the No. 1 seeds on the board to establish the four regions. Place the No. 8 seeds in each region closest to the No. 1 seeds. Place the No. 2 seeds in each region closest to the No. 1 seeds. Place the No. 7 seeds in each region closest to the No. 2 seeds. Place the No. 3 seeds in each region closest to the No. 2 seeds. Place the No. 6 seeds in each region closest to the No. 3 seeds. Place the No. 4 seeds in each region closest to the No. 1 seeds. Place the No. 5 seeds in each region closest to the No. 4 seeds. Higher-seeded teams will have the first option to host games as they advance, unless extenuating logistical circumstances (i.e., travel, lodging and/or facility availability or NCAA Championship guidelines) preclude such an opportunity. 10. Review the groups of fours to ensure adherence to the principles for seeding.
III. Principles for Placing Teams into the Championship Bracket

1. The priority for the committee will be to achieve the best-possible competitive balance in each region, while placing teams as close to their areas of natural interest as possible. 2. Eight levels are established (i.e., the seeds, 1 through 8) in the bracket that transcend each of the four regions, permitting evaluation of four teams simultaneously on the same level. 3. Each of the first two teams selected from a conference shall be placed in different regions. 4. An institution may be moved one bracket line from its true seed line (e.g., from a No. 6 seed to a No. 7 seed) when it is placed in the bracket if necessary to meet the principles. 5. Conference teams shall not meet each other prior to the regional final unless a ninth team is selected from a conference.

NIT NOTES
Dayton tied Michigan for third place on the list of most NIT titles by capturing its third in 2010. The Flyers previous NIT championships came in 1962 and 1968. Michigan won NIT titles in 1984, 1997 and 2004. The Flyers made their ninth appearance in the NIT semifinals in 2010, a mark topped only by St. Johns with 16. Along with its three titles, Dayton has one fourth-place finish and a tourney-record five second-place finishes. Dayton is now second only to St. Johns in the NIT record book for most championships, most games played, most wins and most losses. Four schools UAB, Illinois State, Rhode Island and Virginia Tech have appeared in each of the last three postseason NITs. Mississippi has played in three of the last four tourneys with semifinal appearances in 2008 and 2010. Arizona State has played in two of the last three NITs and five of the last 11. Among the schools with multiple NIT championships, West Virginia went the longest between titles. The Mountaineers won the 1942 NIT, but did not claim their second NIT crown until 2007 a span of 65 years. Next on the list is Temple, which won the inaugural NIT in 1938, but did not claim its second title until 1969. Kentucky had a 30-year span between its NIT championships in 1946 and 1976. South Carolina was the second school to win NIT titles in back-to-back years with championships in 2005 and 2006. The Gamecocks appeared in four NITs over a sixyear period and had a 14-2 record during that stretch. They claimed a second-place trophy in 2002 and lost a first round game in 2001. St. Johns is the other school to win NIT titles in back-to-back years. The Red Storm won NIT championships in 1943 and 1944. Dayton is the only other school to win NIT titles in back-to-back appearances. The Flyers won their first NIT crown in 1962. They did not make the NIT field again until 1968, but also won that tournament. Michigan came close to NIT titles in back-to-back appearances. The Wolverines won the 2004 NIT title and then finished second to South Carolina in 2006 in their next NIT appearance. New Mexico holds the NIT record for appearing in the tournament in seven consecutive seasons. The Lobos streak began in 1984 and ran through 1990. However, their best finish in that seven-year run was a fourth-place effort in 1990. Nine schools are tied for second with five consecutive NIT appearances Dayton, Duquesne, Fordham, Long Island, Louisville, Providence, St. Johns (twice), Temple and Villanova. Daytons five-year streak came during a period when the Flyers appeared in 10 of 12 NITs. The Flyers were second in the 1951 and 1952 NITs, but did not make the field in 1953. Dayton then appeared in five straight tourneys from 1954 through 1958. They finished second three more times in 1955, 1956 and 1958. The Flyers were not in the 1959 NIT, but then made three straight appearances from 196062, winning the 1962 championship. St. Johns had a pair of five-year streaks broken up by just a single year. The first streak began with consecutive NIT titles in 1943 and 1944. The Red Storm was third in 1945 and also appeared in the 1946 and 1947 tourneys. After missing out on the 1948 NIT, St. Johns began another five-year run in 1949. The Red Storm had thirdplace finishes in 1950 and 1951, and a second-place effort in 1953 to conclude the streak. St. Johns had appeared in the 1939 and 1940 NITs, so they were in 12 of 15 tourneys from 193953. Nine schools have won the NIT championship in their first appearance in the tourney. In addition to Temple, which won the initial NIT, the list includes West Virginia in 1942, Saint Louis in 1948, San Francisco in 1949, Brigham Young in 1951, Southern Illinois in 1967, Maryland in 1972, UCLA in 1985, and Fresno State in 1983.

2010 POSTSEASON NIT NOTES

Dayton won its third NIT title in 2010 and improved its NIT record to 40-20. The Flyers also won NIT titles in 1962 and 1968. They are second only to St. Johns in the NIT record book for most games played, most games won and most games lost. Balance was a key to the Flyer championship. UD used at least 11 players in all five NIT games, and no fewer than nine players scored in each game. Thirteen players saw action vs. North Carolina for four minutes or more, with nine scoring. Dayton had a 25-11 advantage in bench points in the NIT title game. The Flyers also had a 39-9 margin in bench points in their second round win at Cincinnati. Dayton held its NIT opponents to 62.0 ppg in the tourney while scoring at a 73.6 ppg clip. Daytons NIT opponents shot just 37% (113-308) from the field and only 25% (31-124) from the three-point arc. Dayton also had a +6.2 rebound margin in NIT play. North Carolina fell to 13-5 in NIT play with the title game loss. The Tar Heels now have a first-place effort (1971) in the tourney, a second-place (2010) and a third-place finish (1973). UNCs Deon Thompson grabbed 23 rebounds in the two games at Madison Square Garden to emerge as the tourneys rebound leader. He had double-doubles in each of his last three NIT games the quarterfinal, the semifinal and the championship game. Although they played just four games in the NIT, Terrico White and Chris Warren of Mississippi finished #1 and #5 in NIT scoring. Second on the scoring list was Delroy James from a Rhode Island squad that also lost in the semifinals. The tourneys assist and steals leader was Demetri McCamey of Illinois, who accumulated 31 assists and 10 steals in just three games. McCamey had doubledoubles in points and assists in each of the Illinis three NIT games. Rhode Islands Lamonte Ulmer matched McCameys 10 steals, but in one more contest. Mississippis Reginald Buckner had a tourney-best 12 blocked shots, averaging 3.0 per game. Rhode Island committed just 9.8 turnovers per game in the NIT. That mark was at 7.0 per game before the Rams had 18 turnovers in their semifinal loss to North Carolina. URIs opponents in the NIT averaged 15.3 turnovers per game. Rhode Island had just two turnovers in its second round win over Nevada. Rhode Island made its third appearance in the NIT semifinals, but its first since 1946. In that 1946 game, DePauls George Mikan set a Madison Square Garden NIT record by scoring 53 points in a 9753 win. Akeem Richmond scored 16 points to help Rhode Island to a 25-2 margin in bench scoring in a first round win over Northwestern. He scored 14 consecutive points for URI during a 3:07 span of the first half when the Rams grabbed the lead. He hit all four of his three-point field goals during that stretch. Elijah Millsap of UAB had an impressive NIT, averaging 20.0 ppg and 9.7 rpg. He shot better than 58% from the field (24-41) and also had eight steals and seven assists. Millsap had double-doubles in UABs first two NIT games and was three rebounds short of another vs. North Carolina. Nevadas Luke Babbitt was a perfect 19-for-19 at the free throw line in two NIT contests.
