#7 Duke Blue Devils (4-0)

NIT Season Tip-Off ends at a special place

NEW YORK (AP) Mike Krzyzewski played at Madison Square Garden as a cadet at Army in the 1960s. He has brought his Duke teams to the New York City arena enough that the Blue Devils have a history there with three NIT Season Tip-Off titles and they are within two wins of a fourth.

The seventh-ranked Blue Devils (4-0) face Arizona State (4-0) in the second game of Wednesday night's semifinal doubleheader after No. 13 Connecticut (3-0) goes against LSU (3-0).

There are plenty of reasons for Krzyzewski to be a big fan of the preseason NIT as the Blue Devils enter the game with a 20-2 mark in the tournament and they are on a 10-game winning streak in it. (MORE)
