One of the world's most famous and busiest arenas, Madison Square is home to the New York Rangers [5] NHL team, the New York Knicks [6] NBA team, the New York Liberty [7] WNBA team, and the St. John's Red Storm [8] college men's basketball team, as well as numerous concerts and entertainment events. In addition to most St. John's home games, the Garden also hosts three major college men's basketball events each year. At the start of the season, the Garden hosts the semifinals and finals of the NIT Season Tip-Off [9], a prestigious early-season event operated by the country's main college sports body, the NCAA. After the regular season, the Garden then hosts the Big East Conference Men's Basketball Tournament [10] in early March, which determines the conference's automatic representative in the wildly popular NCAA tournament. Finally, in late March, the Garden hosts the semifinals and finals of the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) [11], a tournament that the NCAA operates as something of a consolation prize for teams that do not make the NCAA tournament.
