Preseason NIT 2011: TV Schedule, Live Stream, Bracket and More
The college basketball season is around the corner. That means we are about to be hit with a bevy of preseason tournaments to whet the appetite. Enter the glory of the NIT Preseason Tipoff.
We are without NBA basketball, but that hardly means we need to mope around the house waiting for exciting hoops. Starting on November 14th, we will get a myriad of games with some reputable programs.
Syracuse, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State and Stanford lead the way in top-tier hoops action that I will savor in the wake of a looming NBA lockout.
