Oregon State returns to its third UKIT after capturing consolation game honors in 1962 and 1966. In '62. the Beavers lost to West Virginia, 70-65, and beat Iowa, 61-55, while in '66. they lost to Kentucky. 96-66. and beat Penn Slate, 64-61.

Arizona State and Georgia Tech are newcomers to the tournament, and State to competition with Kentucky.
The renewal of basketball competition with Georgia Tech revives one of the South's great rivalries. Even though the Wildcats hold a commanding 49-13 series lead, it was the Yellow Jackets which ended Kentucky's national record home court win streak at 129 when they upset the Cats, 59-58, in 1955. Since that game, Tech won nine of 20 games before the series ended in 1964 when they withdrew from the Southeastern Conference.
