The National Invitation Tournament, founded in 1938, is the oldest post season collegiate tournament in the nation. The 2007 32 team field featured 25 teams with 20 or more wins, and marked the first time in either NCAA or NIT history that all four number one seeds made it to the championship round.
In the NIT semi finals Tuesday night at the Garden, West Virginia nailed a three point shot at the buzzer to cap off a come from behind win over Mississippi State while Clemson staved off a furious Air Force rally to hold on to a one point victory.
