	National Invitation Tournament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Invitation Tournament (NIT) is a college basketball tournament operated by the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
		The post-season tournament pre-dates the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship tournament by one year; in the tournaments' early years there was often some contention as to which champion was in fact the nation's best collegiate basketball team.
		The men's tournament originally consisted of only 6 teams, which later expanded to 8 teams in 1941, 12 teams in 1949, 14 teams in 1965, 16 teams in 1968, 24 teams in 1979, 32 teams in 1980, and is currently 40 teams as of 2002.

	Women's NIT
		Monday, March 13, 2006 – The first 40-team field in the history of the Postseason Women’s National Invitation Tournament was announced tonight.
		This is the first year that the tournament expanded from 32 to 40 teams, which was done to offer more postseason opportunities to teams that won their regular-season conference title but lost in their conference tournament and did not earn an NCAA automatic berth.
		The Preseason WNIT is an elite 16-team tournament that often showcases that season’s eventual Final Four teams.

	USATODAY.com - NIT historical facts
		The competitive NIT, boasting three double overtime games in 1971, was a stark contrast in than period to the NCAA Tournament otherwise known as the "UCLA Invitational." Seemingly invincible UCLA captured seven consecutive NCAA titles from 1967-'73 by winning 28 tournament games by an average of almost 18 points per contest.
		NIT champion-to-be Louisville was ranked 4th in the nation by AP in mid-February of 1956 when it lost by 40 points at Xavier (99-59).
		For instance, NIT runner-up Rhode Island State upended Bowling Green in overtime in their NIT opener in 1946 after the Rams' Ernie Calverley swished a shot from beyond halfcourt at the end of regulation in perhaps the most exciting moment in NIT history.

		Participation in the tournament shall be limited, by institution, to once in any four-year period and, by conference, to one institution of a member conference per tournament."
