Format


The CIT uses the old NIT model in which there is no set bracket. Future round opponents are determined by the results of the previous round. After all 26 teams played in the first round, the top-three highest rated teams based on the Pomeroy College Basketball Ratings regular season rating automatically advanced to the quarterfinals.



Postseason classics


In 2016, the CIT introduced the Coach John McLendon Classic as the first "Classic" game to ever be played during postseason tournament. For 2017, the CIT introduced three more "Classic" games, for a total of four, all to be played in the first round.


Coach John McLendon Classic
Hugh Durham Classic
Lou Henson Classic
Riley Wallace Classic


The winners of each Classic received a trophy and advanced to the second round or quarterfinals if they received a second round bye.
