The 1994 National Invitation Tournament was the 1994 edition of the annual NCAA college basketball competition.
Of note, in Kansas State's 115–77 victory over Fresno State in the quarterfinals, Askia Jones of Kansas State set the NCAA postseason record of 14 three-point field goals. His final total of 62 points, spurred by nine consecutive successful three-point shots bridging the first and second halves, was also the second-highest scoring output in major-college postseason history.
Doremus Bennerman of Siena won MVP after scoring 174 points in 5 NIT games. The total remains a tournament record.[1]
