The NIT is heating up with some great matchups on deck.

The NIT rolls into the Final 8, and it’s been an incredible tournament thus far. This has been exactly what the secondary tournament was created to be, with snubbed mid-majors getting to shine and prove to the world that amazing college basketball exists outside of the big dance.

There’s no doubt that making the NIT was a disappointment Indiana State. The Sycamores weren’t given a bid after losing the Missouri Valley Championship, but have channeled their snub into an amazing run on the back of spectacled center Robbie Avila. The most captivating Indiana State player since Larry Bird has been doing everything for his team this tournament, en route to a wonderful run.

Meanwhile the Power 5 schools who got bids based on their conferences? Bounced for the most part, ensuring the mid-majors reigned supreme in the NIT.

Here is the complete bracket for the 2024 National Invitational Tournament.
