SBG Global Opening Line: Clemson – 1, Total 136

Two one point victories have West Virginia and Clemson meeting for the NIT Championship tonight at Madison Square Garden in New York.  West Virginia edged Mississippi State 63-62 on Darris Nichols' 3-pointer at the buzzer. A few hours later, Clemson held on to beat Air Force 68-67 for a thrilling victory. SBG Global reports that early money is split on the decision but the public loves the Over.

"I always say that we have the same amount of time as they do," Clemson coach Oliver Purnell said. "I would like to have three days to prepare, but we don't. We will watch some tape with the team, go through the scouting report, walk through some things and play against the zone and that kind of thing. We will come back tonight, meet again, watch tape and go over the scouting report."

Clemson is a 1.5 point favorite with a total of 136 at SBG Global.

Clemson has never won an NIT or NCAA men's basketball title, so they're motivated to win tonight. "I think it would be another sign that the program is going in the right direction," Purnell said. "Every year, we have gotten better and better. The university would be proud of (us) in terms of where our basketball program is and I think it will be an excellent springboard moving forward."

West Virginia is in the NIT championship for the second time.  They beat Western Kentucky in 1942. "These kids have this type of chance," West Virginia head coach John Beilein said. "There are only two teams. If things don't go our way tomorrow night and Clemson is the winner, they will know at that time they gave it their best."
