National Catholic Invitation Tournament

Originally the tournament was to take place at Loyola College in Baltimore, MD from March 15th to March 22nd and feature sixteen teams.^[24] 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.^[28]
