Message: [QUOTE="SBU72, post: 1283671, member: 741"] What you did not mention was that back then the NIT was the bigger of the two. Also both tournaments took a lot fewer teams combined than the current NCAA. So good teams who finished 2nd or third in their conferences did not usually get in the NIT. Even when the NCAA overtook the NIT in importance, the NIT was still highly valued because of the small size of the NCAA. Also back then a team actually won BOTH, CCNY in 1950. [/QUOTE]
