Syracuse earned a berth to the NIT tournament for the second time. The first game in the tournament was going to be a tough one, with the Orangemen facing Long Island University. The Orangemen were heavy underdogs, yet they jumped out to an early 17-9 lead, and never looked back. Jack Kiley lead the way with 21 points, and Savage added another 16 as they routed LIU 80-52 in front a surprised Madison Square Garden crowd.

The next game saw the Orangemen face the #1 team in the nation, Bradley. Syracuse hung tough for the first 3/4 of the game, before the skilled passing of Bradley wore the Orangemen down. Syracuse did not help their own cause with horrible free throw shooting.

The Andreas era had ended at Syracuse, a remarkable 25 year run.
