NIT bracket 2023 tournament schedule, dates, times: No. 1 seed Rutgers falls to Hofstra as first round begins - CBS Sports

1 seed in the NIT fell Wednesday night during the second day of tournament action as Morehead State upset Clemson 68-64.

The Eagles hit 11 3-pointers and made 15 of 16 free throw to overcome an early 29-14 deficit.

The outcome marks a disappointing end to the season for the Tigers, who were among the First Four Out of the NCAA Tournament field.

Clemson started 18-4 and held a multi-game lead in the ACC standings at one point but finishes 23-11.

Arguably the most-surprising result of Wednesday's action came from the Sunshine State, though, as UCF crushed Florida 67-49, sending the Gators' first season under coach Todd Golden to an ugly conclusion.

While an NIT appearance marks a consolation prize of sorts for programs that harbored at-large hopes for an NCAA Tournament bid entering Selection Sunday, it's a momentous occasion for others.
