While the NCAA tournament takes most of the headlines, the NIT provides fans with even more college hoops action.
Comprised on teams that missed the cut for the NCAA tournament, the NIT is a smaller field that uses college campuses until the semifinals. That means crowds get rowdy and momentum is king.
The teams competing in the NIT might be smaller names compared to those in the big dance, but there's no shortage of great basketball in the NIT.
So here's a printable bracket, the complete NIT field and how to watch the games.
