NIT 2024: Bracket, schedule, and scores

The complete NIT bracket and first round schedule is below.

It’s NIT time baby! Some questionable decisions in the NCAA bracket benefited her NIT, which won her national sweetheart Indiana State into the tournament in the National Invitational Tournament.

There is no doubt that this is a huge disappointment for the Sycamores. Indiana State advanced to the Missouri Valley for the first time this year with bespectacled center Robby Avila. Robbie Avila became the school’s most attractive player since Larry Bird.

Other schools to watch this year include Oklahoma, Seton Hall, and Colorado State, all poised to prove they deserve the big stage with strong performances in the NIT.

St. John’s University was considered to be in the mix, but chose to sit out the tournament after being ignored by the NCAA.
