From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1970 National Invitation Tournament was unique in that coach Al McGuire of Marquette University, unhappy with his team's placement, turned down a bid to the NCAA tournament and elected to play in the NIT instead.[1]. His Golden Eagles went on to claim the championship.
