The lesser-known part of March Madness is the National Invitation Tournament (N.I.T.). Once the premier college basketball tournament in the country, it is now more of a consolation for the country’s best teams that did not make it into the big dance, the NCAA Championship.
The N.I.T. had a 32-team bracket and are down to the final four:
Thursday, April 4
Finals in Madison Square Garden
9pm: (3) Iowa vs (2) Baylor
