NIT Tournament 2024: Complete Schedule, Tip-Off Times, Locations, TV, Point Spreads

Three Big Ten teams have opted to play in the NIT Tournament this year, with Ohio State, Iowa and Minnesota joining the 32-team field.

Seton Hall, Indiana State, Villanova and Wake Forest are the No. 1 seeds in the bracket released Sunday.

The first three rounds are played on campus sites, with the semifinals and finals being playing at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

For the third straight season, the NIT seeded only the top half of the 32-team field. The bottom 16 unseeded teams were placed into the bracket by the NIT Committee as close to their area of natural interest as possible.

“We’re excited about the field that we were able to put together,” said Tim Duncan, vice president of athletics and recreation at New Orleans and chair of the NIT committee. “There are going to be some great early-round matchups and it’s truly exciting to bring the history of the NIT — college basketball’s beginning – to historic Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.”

Here is the complete schedule for the tournament, with matchups, game times and TV information. We will update this file in real time throughout the tournament, which starts on Tuesday.
