The NIT Season Tip-Off returns to Barclays Center Thanksgiving Week of 2016 and is set to feature Florida State, Illinois, Temple and West Virginia squaring off in the championship round.

 

In its second year under the ESPN Events umbrella, the 2016 NIT Season Tip-Off will maintain its format with Florida State, Illinois, Temple and West Virginia each hosting two games at home against designated campus-site teams prior to traveling to Brooklyn. The full schedule, remaining four teams, and campus-site games will be announced at a later date.

 

The 2017 NIT Season Tip-Off is scheduled for Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, which is currently being renovated by Bruce Ratner and Nassau Events Center (NEC), the same management team behind Barclays Center. The 2018 event will return to Barclays Center.
