NIT Season Tip-Off schedule features Villanova, Arkansas at Barclays - CBS Sports - August 6, 2015

The NIT Season Tip-Off schedule for this upcoming season has been released, and it's headlined by two high-major NCAA Tournament teams from a season ago in Villanova and Arkansas.

Jay Wright's Wildcats lead the way, featuring what will likely be a top-15 team next season including returning Big East Player of the Year Ryan Arcidiacono, center Daniel Ochefu, and incoming five-star freshman Jalen Brunson. They will face Stanford, last season's postseason NIT champion, in the semifinals on Nov. 26.

The other pre-set semifinal, featuring Arkansas and Georgia Tech, will also be played on that date, with the two winners meeting in the championship game on Nov. 27. The semifinals and finals this season will be played at the Barclays Center after previously being held at Madison Square Garden since 1985.

Villanova will be an odds-on favorite to win this tournament.

CBS Sports picked Villanova to win the Big East and Stanford to finish 9th in the Pac-12. On July 22nd - a few hours after CBS Sports picked Arkansas to finish 10th in the SEC - three Razorback players were arrested on first-degree forgery charges in Fayetteville.

CBS Sports picked Georgia Tech to finish 14th in the ACC, but they just might upset Arkansas in the other semifinal.

Just an ugly bracket for Villanova. At least Nova has some other good OOC games to make up for it in Oklahoma and Virginia.

It's starting to look like Joel Welser will not be writing a preview about Arkansas this season.
