The Xavier University Musketeers are among four teams - along with the Memphis Tigers, the Virginia Tech Hokies and the Iowa State Cyclones - scheduled to headline the 2021 Preseason NIT in New York City, according to a report Monday via Twitter from CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein.

Xavier Musketeers head coach Travis Steele watches his team during the Crosstown Shootout at the Fifth Third Arena Sunday, December 6, 2020. The Musketeers won 77-69.

Rothstein added that official dates and times have yet to be determined.

The 2020 NIT Season Tip-Off was canceled by ESPN last October.
