The NIT typically invites teams that did not receive bids to the NCAA Tournament, although there have been instances where NCAA Tournament teams that were considered on the bubble or from mid-major conferences have participated. The tournament is organized by the NCAA and is played at various neutral-site locations, with the semifinals and championship game typically held at Madison Square Garden in the heart of New York City.

While the NCAA Tournament determines the national champion, the NIT provides an opportunity for teams to continue their seasons and potentially win a postseason title. Winning the NIT can still be a significant achievement for college basketball programs, particularly those that may not have had as much success in the regular season or missed out on the NCAA Tournament.
