TheBand Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 NEW YORK -- The NIT said Tuesday it will no longer have a third-place game. The 32-team postseason tournament has brought its last four teams to Madison Square Garden for the semifinals and then played championship and third-place games two nights later. The National Invitation Tournament started in 1938 and held a third-place game every year except 1982 and 1983. The NCAA tournament, which started in 1939, held a third-place game from 1946 through 1981. The Preseason NIT, which is held at Madison Square Garden during Thanksgiving week, will still have a third-place game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
