Bible College National Invitational Tournament

The Bible College National Invitational Tournament is an annual tournament for Christian college basketball teams that compete in the USCAA, NCCAA, and NAIA associations. It is hosted by the schools participating, and is often a three-day, six-to-eight team competition.

History and format

The Bible College National Invitational Tournament was founded in the 2005–06 season by former Trinity Baptist College coach Patrick Milligan, who stepped down in the 2024–25 season. It was formerly known as the Small Bible College National Invitational Tournament, designed to give bible colleges with enrollment under 1,000 students a chance to play for a national championship.
The format has remained largely the same since its origin, with a small group of teams competing in a three-day, knockout tournament, with one team eventually being crowned the winner. The tournament is hosted by a rotation of participating bible colleges. A trademark of the first night of the tournament is a 3-point and dunk contest which provides players a chance to showcase their skills.
