2017 National Invitation Tournament 2017 National Invitation Tournament was a single-elimination tournament of 32 NCAA Division I Teams that were not selected to participate in the 2017 NCAA Tournament . The annual tournament was played on campus sites in the first three rounds, with the semifinals and championship game being held at Madison Square Garden in New York City . The tournament began on Tuesday, March 14 and ended on Thursday, March 30 . The NIT Selection Show aired Sunday March 12 on ESPNU .Experimental rules In February 2017 , the NCAA approved a number of experimental rule changes for use in this tournament: Team fouls were reset to zero at the end of every 10 minute segment of each half. Similar to women's college basketball , the game was split into quarters for purposes of team fouls, but without a period break. There were no "one-and-one" foul shots . Instead, starting with the fifth total foul in each 10-minute segment, non-shooting fouls by the defensive team resulted in two free throws, with the only exception being administrative technical fouls . This mirrored foul counting in NCAA women's basketball , which has been played in quarters since the 2015–16 season. In a feature unique in the college game, but similar to that used by the NBA, overtime was considered a separate period for purposes of accrued team fouls. The team foul limit was three per overtime period, with all non-shooting team fouls thereafter by the defense resulting in two free throws. The shot clock was reset to 20 seconds when the ball was inbounded in the frontcourt following a foul.Participants Automatic qualifiers The following 10 teams were guaranteed berths into the 2017 NIT field when they failed to receive an at-large NCAA bid by virtue of having won their respective conference's regular season championship and failing to win their conference tournaments.
