NIT Season Tip-Off Tickets
NIT Tip-Off Tickets
Start off the new season of college basketball with NIT Season Tip-Off tickets! The NIT Season Tip-Off is a regular season men’s college basketball tournament that is owned and operated by ESPN Events. The inaugural event was held in 1985 and was known at the time as the Preseason NIT to avoid confusion with the postseason NIT event. Duke won the initial tournament on their way to qualifying for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship Game. The annual tournament is known for hosting nationally-ranked teams that often qualify for the NCAA March Madness Tournament and have a shot at making the NCAA Final Four.
The event changed formats in 2014 and now features four teams chosen from the top conferences in college basketball. The four teams selected will play a pair of regular season games at campus sites before entering the NIT Season Tip-Off bracket at the Barclays Center. Recent winners of this format include the Oklahoma State Cowboys, Kansas Jayhawks and Virginia Cavaliers.
