NIT unveils regional format, with Gonzaga and UNC

[The Bubba]

NEW YORK -- Gonzaga and North Carolina, which both finished in the final top 10 last season, headline the field for next season's newly formatted NIT Season Tip-Off.

The field for the 16-team tournament was announced Thursday, and the 22nd annual event will be played at four "common sites" before the semifinals and finals are again held at Madison Square Garden.

I'm seeing a potential championship game between UNC and Tennessee. IU should still field a decent team and maybe Notre Dame. Butler always has a scrappy team and could upset ND. Time will tell.

It seems like UNC plays in the NIT every other year!

I think that Duke will be playing Gonzaga for the first time ever. Too bad that Morrison and Redick couldn't go head to head.

They always seem to give Duke a game with someone that was tough the season before .
