NIT Selection Show 2024: Bracket, time, date, channel and how to watch

Please don't call it the NIT Tournament because the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) already has that covered. But if you're a college basketball fan, every March offers a great reason to be excited beyond just the NCAA Tournament. And fans should definitely be stoked for what's to come when the 2024 NIT bracket is revealed.

While there were some potentially huge candidates to be invited to the NIT last year with the likes of North Carolina and Michigan missing out, there are still some great teeams who could be in line to miss out on the NCAA Tournament and make a great run in the NIT. Teams like Oklahoma, Indiana State, Villanova, Wake Forest, Virginia and many other notable programs could be NIT bound when it's all said and done.

It may not have the fanfare that the NCAA Tournament does, but there's a lot of reason to love the NIT, especially if you're a college hoops diehard. So here's everything you need to know about the 2024 NIT, including a bracket, schedule, and how to watch the Selection Show.

There are only 32 teams who compete in the NIT bracket, less than half of those that make the NCAA Tournament field of 68. However, with the likes of Oklahoma, Wake Forest and other proud programs almost surely on their way to the NIT this year instead of the Big Dance, we could be in store for another thrilling rendition of this tournament.
