2017 NIT Bracket Released: California, Colorado & Utah Make The Field

While the NCAA Tournament bracket always gets it’s fair share of the headlines (and rightfully so), the post-season National Invitational Tournament (NIT) also released it’s bracket on Sunday night, which features three teams from the Pac-12 in California, Colorado and Utah.

California (21-12) was one of the last teams left to sweat out Selection Sunday but the Golden Bears overall resume was probably a long-shot for the NCAA Tournament, without enough signature wins to their name. However, the Golden Bears received a #1 seed in the NIT Tournament, where they’ll match-up with #8 seed Cal-State Bakersfield (22-9), the Regular Season Champions from the Western Athletic Conference (WAC).
