Tonight will be the championship game of the famed (and formerly relevant) NIT Tournament, pitting the Dayton Flyers against the UNC Tar Heels. Dayton is appearing in its 22nd NIT, second only to St. John's 27, yet has not won one since 1968. The Heels have been to many many fewer, for the obvious reason that they are normally otherwise occupied, yet has had more recent success, as they won it back in 1971. I did not have to google this, since I have the T-shirt somewhere in my dresser.

As has been the case throughout the tournament, the Heels are favored . . . to lose. The senior-laden Flyers should not be daunted by the
"CAROLINA" emblazoned across their opponent's chests, yet this just might be the determining factor . . . I've seen it happen before.
I'll let you know for sure tomorrow.
