Remembered hearing about this. Didn't know it lasted over 30 years. Regular season standings determined NCAA bid, no post season tournament until around the time the holiday tournament ended.
"From the 1946-47 through the 1978-79 season, the Big Eight hosted a mid-season holiday tournament in which all of the league teams participated. From the 1946-47 through the 1957-58 season when the conference had fewer than eight members, non-member schools would be invited in order to field an 8-team tournament. Among teams invited from outside the conference, only SMU during the 1946-47 season ever won the tournament."
