The 2020 Preseason NIT - also called the NIT Season Tip-Off and set to feature the Cincinnati Bearcats men's basketball team for the first time - will be played without headliners Arizona and St. John's, according to a report via Twitter from Stadium's Jeff Goodman.
UC and Texas Tech remain as the tournament's two headliners, according to Goodman.
CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein reported earlier this month that the tournament is among early season college basketball events moving to Orlando. The tournament had been scheduled to be played in late November at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
