Who Gets into the NIT?

NIT bids go to teams that did not make the NCAA Tournament but finished above .500. All regular season conference champions that did not make the NCAA Tournament get invites.

The field is 32 teams for first time since 2019; it dropped to 16 teams last year due to COVID-19 and was canceled in 2020.
