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])
There were only 6 teams in the NIT. It was the second year for that tournament.
1939 (6 teams) - Bradley, Long Island, Loyola (Chicago), New Mexico A&M, Roanoke, St. John's. Quarterfinals-Long Island beat New Mexico A&M, 52-45. St. John's beat Roanoke, 71-47. Semifinals-Long Island beat Bradley, 36-32. Loyola beat St. John's, 51-46 (ot). Championship-Long Island beat Loyola, 44-32. Third place-Bradley beat St. John's, 40-35.

Yes! Go Pack! (But not this year, indeed)
At least the Tar Holes got knocked off in the ACC tournament. That made me happy.
