NIT bracket 2023: Live updates as complete men’s National Invitation Tournament bracket released

March Madness is upon us and that also means it’s time for the 2023 NIT. The National Invitational Tournament will feature a combination of the regular season champions who did not reach of the NCAA tournament, at-large snubs from the Big Dance, and other at-large teams. We have a list of every team guaranteed a berth by winning their regular season conference title.

The bracket reveal will take place at 10:00 p.m. ET and is airing on ESPNU. While some teams view the NIT as a disappointing parting gift, others recognize the No. 2 tournament as a great opportunity. NIT winners can parlay success into an NCAA Tournament berth next year. It gives fans a chance to watch their team for a handful more games. And given the context of the team’s season, it can help with recruiting.

This year’s NIT will feature some changes from previous years. The top 16 teams will be seeded and placed in the four pods. Then, the remaining 16 teams will be assigned geographically where it is possible. Additionally, the tournament is moving the semifinals and championship game away from Madison Square Garden to a new annual hosted venue. This year, the tournament will wrap up in Las Vegas at Orleans Arena. Next year, it will wrap in Indianapolis at Hinkle Fieldhouse.

North Carolina has turned down a chance at the NIT. Given how badly their season went compared to expectations, it’s not a surprise.

We’ll update the complete bracket with results below.
