That’s hilarious, only 8 teams. You had to actually be a good team to make the tourney. Of course the great depression was still going on.

Yep. I bet Oregon had one lousy bus ride to get to this tournament.

You had to actually be a good team to make the tourney.Maybe not. It might have been the reverse of today in that the NIT was the more prestigous tournament and the NCAA was a consolation prize. The NIT got way more coverage in the paper.

Also, till a scandal in the mid-60’s, the NIT was a bigger deal than the NCAA’s that then came to dominate.
