The NIT is a Big Deal for a team like NC Central, and they are hungry after giving away their NCAA tourney ticket. For Miami, the NIT is a big letdown. Also -- warning -- I'm a line-watcher. It was a fishy small line to begin with, IMO, and now, with a solid majority of bets on Miami, line has moved from +9.5 to +8.5.
