The 2018 NIT is in full swing and runs through March 29. The championship will take place in New York at the mecca of basketball, Madison Square Garden. Below you'll find the second-round matchups and results from the first round (games played at higher seed) for the teams that failed to reach the NCAA Tournament field of 68. See where Matt Norlander has those teams ranked here.

For the third time in four years, the NIT has some rules changes, some of which are extreme.

The three-point line will be extended back 20 inches to what the arc is in FIBA play.
The free throw line will be widened four feet to NBA regulation.
Games will play out in four, 10-minute quarters instead of two, 20-minute halves. Teams will shoot free throws after the fifth foul of each quarter.
The shot clock resets to 20 seconds after offensive rebounds instead of 30 seconds

The 2018 field consists of seven former NIT champs and 21 conferences represented and you can view and print the full bracket here.

The title game will be played on March 29. All games are televised on ESPN networks and streaming on WatchESPN.
