Tonight the University of South Carolina Gamecocks will face the Michigan Wolverines in an attempt to be the first team, since St. John's NIT back to back NIT Championships in 1943 and 1944, to defend their NIT title. This year marks the first year the NIT will be ran by the NCAA. The NCAA purchased the rights to the post and preseason NIT games last August, ending a 4-year legal battle over the television and advertisment money in college basketball. The game will begin at 7 pm tonight.

- March 28: USC beat Louisville 78-63
