Show Redskins net NIT offer The Utah basketball team has been asked to play in the National Invitational Tournament (NIT). The decision was announced Monday Mon-day at 10 a.m. by the Tournament Committee in New York. Utah will be one of 16 teams competing in the tournament. It will be the sixth apiearance for the Redskins in the NIT. The last time a Utah team made the tournament was in 1958, where St. John's edged the Redskins, 71-70, on a last second basket in the quarter finals. Assistant varsity coach Jerry Pimm said he was surprised Utah got the bid but felt the team was worthy of it. Utah won the tournament in 1947. |
