We'll start with the 32-team NIT, where the top four seeds are SMU, St. John's, Minnesota and Florida State. Semifinals and finals at Madison Square Garden.
Dates & times TBA. Teams with an asterisk received automatic bids for winning their conference's regular season while failing to qualify for the NCAA tournament. All games until the final four will be played at the higher seed with one exception, which is good news for BU. Despite the Terriers being only a 7-seed, they'll host 2-seed Illinois due to ongoing renovations at State Farm Center.
