Purdue among NIT Season Tip-Off field
NEW YORK (AP) — Purdue will play Eastern Michigan and Stephen Curry will lead Davidson against James Madison in the opening round of the NIT Season Tip-Off.
The Boilermakers are one of seven teams from last season's NCAA tournament in the field of 16, which was announced Tuesday by the NIT Selection Committee.
Purdue and Oklahoma both reached the second round of the NCAA last season while Cornell, Arizona, Mississippi Valley State and Georgia all lost first-round games.
Curry, a junior who averaged 25.9 points last season and is the nation's leading returning scorer, carried the Wildcats into a regional final there they lost to eventual NCAA champion Kansas. Davidson will play James Madison in the South Regional at Norman, Okla., while Oklahoma faces Mississippi Valley State.
Boston College will host the East Regional and will play Loyola, Md., while Cornell faces St. John's.
