Oklahoma won the NIT Season Tip-Off, is 20-1 and ranked No. 4 in the Associated Press top 25. However, the 16-team tip-off, which has been held since the 1985-86 season, has not served as an accurate barometer for NCAA tournament success.
Of the 22 NIT tip-off winners before this season, four reached the Final Four and only one — Duke in 2000-01 — won the national title.
