The NIT Season Tip-Off has been a mainstay in the early season basketball tournament landscape for the previous three decades. The NIT, which is hosted annually over Thanksgiving week in New York City, has drawn some of college basketball's best programs to the Big Apple. The inaugural NIT Season Tip-Off, held in November 1985 as the early-season counterpart to the playoff NIT, set the tone for what was to come. The original field contained three teams that advanced to the NCAA tournament and the Final Four in the postseason: Louisville, Duke, and Kansas.
From then, the NIT Season Tip-Off continued a history of kicking off the collegiate basketball season in the heart of New York with excellent tournament fields. Seven tournament participants have gone on to win the national championship that season (the most recent being Villanova in 2016). Several of college basketball's greatest players have appeared in the NIT Season Tip-Off, including Danny Manning, Shaquille O'Neal, Allen Iverson, Paul Pierce, Pervis Ellison, and Christian Laettner.
