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.
Would you post the NIT brackets pls? I’m figuring if UNC-CH wasn’t in it, then it probably wasn’t the premier event (and no, I’m no fan. Go Pack! [just not this year, sigh])

You’re right... it was. The NIT, IIRC, was much a bigger field, and was therefore considered the greater conquest. But maybe the NCAAs focused on getting conference champs?
