NCAA: A Preseason NIT By Any Other Name . . .



What’s in a Name?: You can change the name of the Preseason NIT, but you can’t change the fact that the early season tournament is Duke’s to lose. After buying up the NIT to end an antitrust lawsuit, the NCAA has decided to rename the Preseason NIT as the NIT Season Tip-Off. The name change simply means that the Blue Devils will likely become the first winner of the event under the current name. Other favorites to reach the finals in Madison Square Garden are Memphis, Alabama and UCLA. [10/20/05]
