• Texas A&Mwins the NIT Preseason tournament… On the same day their football team beat Texas…  It’s like you finally nailed that stripper you’ve been after, but your brother slept with Heidi Klum.
• Memphis loves playing in Madison Square Garden, but mostly because the hoodlums that make up the Tiger team don’t seem so bad in the Big Apple. 
• UCLAwins one of the two O’Reilly tournaments with a close win over Michigan State, but I want to know how Grand Valley State woulda fared.
• Miamiis the team in this list that doesn’t seem like it belongs… Peurto Rico isn’t really all that different from Miami though, so it must’ve just seemed like a home game to them… or is that Cuba?
• Duke wins the Maui Invitational, but Coach K still has no tan… Duke is back in the top 25 and all is right in the world, until Davidson comes to town.
• Butler won the boringest of preseason tournaments in Alaska.  Butler is from Alaska right?  Where the hell are they from?  But they did beat a Bobby Knight team… The same Bobby Knight team that lost to Sam Houston
• NC State got some hair on their chest in the Old Spice Classic…. I’m not even gonna talk about the basketball… That commercial with the shit making your hair grow… That’s just nasty.  If I used Old Spice, I would stop after that commercial.
• USC blew out Southern Illinois to win the Anaheim Classic.  OJ Mayo didn’t start, so no one cares, but this tournament easily had the worst line up of all the tourneys. 

While we honor these teams who won their tournaments, we must also honor the losers of the tournaments.  Yes, the teams that showed up for 3 days of beatings in the  Tournaments, so Thank you, Marist, Princeton, Alaska Anchorage, Penn St., and UC Irvine.  Without your 3 losses each all of these teams above couldn’t have their 3 wins. 

It’s funny, you go through this list, and not a single winner was an SEC team or Big East team.  I thought they were supposed to be the best basketball conferences.
