Preseason NIT

[Ross]

I always like this tournament, because it always has a few Top 25 teams and is a good way to start the season. The games started last night, with most teams playing. My Orangemen beat Manhattan last night, and play DePaul tommorrow. They should get to NYC in they do what they are supposed to and beat the Demons.

There is a very good first round game tonight between No. 23 USC and Wyoming that is on ESPN I believe.

Yeah, big-time college basketball is really taking fullstage. Kentucky's first game is this Thursday, boy, am I excited!

In the NIT, I like MSU - Izzo has another group that is young, but very talented. They could have a surprisingly good year. What does everyone else think?
