The Preseason NIT is upon us.
Office work around the USA continues as scheduled.
In November, however, not very many people care. The Preseason NIT is not much different from any of the rest. Winning it is nice but not appreciably more significant than being the champion of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic or the Maui Invitational. I think that for a postseason tournament to have any meaning, participants have to earn their way in. Finishing the season in one piece isn't enough to qualify.
