2026 NIT Bracket Challenge

The NIT is underway, with millions of fans (I’m serious!) tuning in across the globe to watch their Lumberjacks, Anteaters, and multiple iterations of Flames compete in college basketball’s oldest, greatest tournament. The rules are down below, but they’re the same as always. Some notes on how to use our scoreboard:

• The search function works, but it works best on a computer. Search for the name of your bracket and you’ll find it. Search for the team you picked as champion and you’ll see how you stack up against your fellow believers.
• If you’re on your phone, you can try double tapping your screen with two fingers. Sometimes, that contracts the table to fit your screen. Sometimes, it doesn’t. Sorry.
• If you forgot who you picked or really want to get in the weeds on this (do it!), we have every bracket in this spreadsheet.
• Bona NIT.

Rules:

• No funny business.
• 1 point for every team correctly picked to advance to the second round.
• 2 points for every team correctly picked to advance to the quarterfinals.
• 4 points for every team correctly picked to advance to the final four.
• 8 points for every team correctly picked to advance to the championship.
• 16 points for correctly picking the champion.
• Any relevant ties will be broken by how many Atlantic 10 teams play in the 2027 NIT.
• All decisions by The Barking Crow regarding scoring and tiebreakers are final. By joining this challenge, you agree to this.
• We might send prizes to the top three finishers. No promises. There are still some prizewinners from previous NIT Bracket Challenges I’ve yet to successfully contact.
• All brackets must be received before the first game of the tournament tips off. Tuesday 3/17, 6:00 PM EDT. This is one hour earlier than normal.
• One entry per email address, with one exception. If you’re among those who want their kids to participate (because you’re teaching your kids life lessons about the moral standing of various postseason college basketball tournaments), just email us at allthingsnit at gmail dot com and explain yourself. If that’s the reason, we’ll allow your extra entry or entries through. No need to create a second email address for this. The Barking Crow is run by reasonable people. You can tell by how much we like the NIT. (If you submitted multiple brackets from the same email address without clearing it with us, we didn’t remove your brackets, but we won’t send you any prizes, dammit.)
