National Catholic Invitation Tournament

Originally the tournament was to take place at Loyola College in Baltimore, MD from March 15 to March 22 and feature sixteen teams.[25] Yet, because of segregation and protest from St. Francis College about the unequal treatment of its black players, the tournament was moved to Albany, NY and featured eight teams.[31][32] Creighton was favored to win the tournament, although they had a 13–13 record going into the tournament the Bluejays had the toughest schedule of the eight competing teams.[27]
