# 2025 National Invitation Tournament

The 2025 National Invitation Tournament is a single-elimination tournament of 32 NCAA Division I men's college basketball teams not selected to participate in the 2025 NCAA tournament. The tournament will begin on March 18 and end on April 3. The first three rounds will be played on campuses, with the semifinal and championship final played at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Six programs will be making their debut in the NIT: Cal State Northridge, Jacksonville State, North Alabama, Northern Colorado, Samford, and UC Riverside.

## Participants

Teams and pairings for the 2025 NIT will be released by the NIT Committee on Sunday, March 16, 2025. 32 teams will qualify for the NIT, including exempt qualifiers, automatic qualifiers, and at-large selections. In 2024, the Seton Hall Pirates won the NIT championship.

### Exempt qualifiers

For the 2025 NIT, exempt bids were extended to two teams from each of the Atlantic Coast (ACC) and Southeastern (SEC) conferences, plus one team each from the top twelve conferences (other than the ACC and SEC) as rated by KenPom on March 16, 2025. All exempt qualifiers were given the opportunity to host first-round games. The 12 conferences that earned exempt bids based on their KenPom ratings were
* The American
* Atlantic 10
* Big East
* Big Ten
* Big 12
* Big West
* Conference USA
* Ivy League
* Missouri Valley
* Mountain West
* West Coast
* WAC
The teams accepting exempt bids are shown in the table below. No schools from the Big East, Big Ten, Ivy, nor SEC accepted invitations into the tournament, creating five additional at-large berths.

### Automatic qualifiers

Additionally, automatic bids will be given to regular-season conference champions with an average ranking (or "KNIT" score) of 125 or better across the BPI, KPI, NET, KenPom, SOR, Torvik and WAB rankings.
The final KNIT scores through the close of play on March 16, 2025 (Selection Sunday), of teams that were conference regular-season champions, failed to win their conference tournament and are not from conferences receiving an exempt bid are summarized in the table below.

Teams qualifying for and acccepting automatic bids were as follows:
| Team | Conference | Overall Record | Appearance | Last Bid |
| Chattanooga | Southern | 24–9 | 5th | 1987 |
| Northern Colorado | Big Sky | 25–9 | 1st | Never |
* According to multiple reports, due to the volume of "high-major" programs declining NIT bids, the NCAA "assigned" (rather than "offered") some NIT bids without notifying the programs involved in advance. UC Riverside, who didn't know about the NCAA inviting them to the NIT, confirmed their participation in the CBI. Thinking UC Riverside declined participation, the NIT called South Alabama to invite them to the tournament, just to take it back an hour later, while UC Riverside ultimately confirmed participation in the NIT and dropped out of the CBI.
