INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (March 16, 2025) — After securing an automatic bid through its regular season success, the Chattanooga Mocs men’s basketball team will face in-state foe Middle Tennessee in the 2025 National Invitational Tournament (NIT) First Round as the committee solidified and announced the bracket selections Sunday evening.
Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday night inside the Murphy Center in Murfreesboro and will be televised on ESPN+. Chattanooga (24-9) and Middle Tennessee (22-11) meet in the Dayton Region of the bracket as the Flyers garnered top-seeding honors among the eight-team region.
The 32-team NIT event will commence on campus sites of the higher seed through the quarterfinal round before turning to famed Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, for the semifinal and championship rounds April 1-3. The field is divided into four, eight-team regions as Dayton, SMU, UC Irvine and San Francisco were selected as the event’s top four seeds.
Chattanooga is making its fifth NIT appearance and first since 1987 when the program earned four-straight berths into the event from 1984-87. The Mocs are 40 years removed from its memorable 1985 NIT quarterfinal run which featured wins over Clemson and Lamar before the team eventually fell at Louisville.
