The 2024 National Invitation Tournament was a single-elimination tournament of 32 NCAA Division I men's college basketball teams not selected to participate in the 2024 NCAA tournament. The tournament began on March 19 and ended on April 4. The first three rounds were played on campuses, with the semifinal and championship final played at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.[1]
Participants
[edit]Teams and pairings for the 2024 NIT were released by the NIT Committee on Sunday, March 17, 2024. Thirty–two teams qualified for the NIT, including both automatic qualifiers and at-large selections. In 2023, The North Texas Mean Green won the NIT championship.
Automatic qualifiers
[edit]In a change from previous tournaments, teams which had the best regular-season record in their conference but failed to win their conference tournament no longer automatically qualified for the NIT.[2] Instead, the top two teams (based on NET ranking) from six major conferences (ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC) not selected for the NCAA tournament received automatic bids, regardless of their win-loss records. These 12 teams also were given the opportunity to host first-round games.[2] If a team declined an automatic bid, it was offered to the team with the next best NET ranking in the declining team's conference. Despite this new automatic qualification criterion, only one automatic qualifier from the Pac-12 accepted a 2024 NIT bid, meaning only 11 automatic bids were awarded.
| Team | Conference | Overall record | Appearance | Last bid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wake Forest | ACC | 20–13 | 7th | 2022 |
| Virginia Tech | ACC | 18–14 | 15th | 2023 |
| Villanova | Big East | 18–15 | 19th | 2023 |
| Providence | Big East | 21–13 | 21st | 2019 |
| Ohio State | Big Ten | 20–13 | 10th | 2016 |
| Iowa | Big Ten | 18–14 | 9th | 2017 |
| Cincinnati | Big 12 | 20–14 | 12th | 2023 |
| UCF | Big 12 | 17–15 | 4th | 2023 |
| Utah | Pac-12 | 19–14 | 15th | 2018 |
| LSU | SEC | 17–15 | 9th | 2018 |
| Georgia | SEC | 17–16 | 15th | 2017 |
