Where are the NIT semifinals?

The semifinals set for 6 p.m. CT (ESPN) and 8:30 p.m. CT (ESPN2) on April 2 at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The championship is set for 6 p.m. CT April 4 in Indy.

The NIT selects 32 teams that don't make the NCAA Tournament. The first 12 teams selected to the NIT field will be the remaining top two teams in the NET ranking from each of the six largest conferences: Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern. After those 12 automatic bids, the NIT committee selects the "20 best teams available" to complete the field, according to a news release. These 20 can come from any conference. Regular-season champions who do not win their league tournament no longer earn an automatic bid.

The NIT will seed 16 teams. The 12 automatic-qualifying teams will be seeded and given a chance to host, as will four of the 20 at-large teams, with "deference given" to the first four teams left out of the NCAA Tournament, according to the NCAA. The 16 seeded teams are spread among the quadrants and the opponents will be placed by geography where possible.

In 2023, 10 programs opted out of the NIT: Arizona State, Indiana, Memphis, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Pittsburgh, St. John's, Syracuse, USC and Washington.
