This week, college basketball is in full swing with not one, not two, but three tournaments It opens with the Maui Invitational, followed by the Battle 4 Atlantis and the NIT Season Tip-Off

The NIT Season Tip-Off could be considered the lesser of the three tournaments This is partly because it was not held last year and partly because there have been issues in the past about the best way to arrange tournaments and where to play them

However, with those issues resolved, the NCAA is now committed to a four-team NIT season tipoff between Baylor, Oregon State, Florida, and Pittsburgh All games will be played at the Barclays Center in New York City beginning November 22, so they will be broadcast at a time that the whole family can enjoy

The big question, however, is which team will take home the tournament championship Baylor is 4-0 this year and currently ranked 15th in the nation The other three teams are not nationally ranked, so Baylor is the clear favorite, but their rivals are no slouches either

Pittsburgh is also undefeated And while Florida has one loss this season, the team is bouncing back and appears to be playing better as a team And Oregon State, with three wins, could shock Baylor

All signs point to a competitive and fun NIT season tip-off this year If you're a college basketball fan, you won't want to miss it

Read on for more on this year's tournament, game times, and more

Hoops fans, if you're traveling and can't access your usual services to watch the 2023 NIT Season Tipoff, you're not out of luck With a virtual private network or VPN, you can pretend you are surfing the net from your hometown (or somewhere where power outages won't hit) and access the same streaming services you have already paid for

Not sure which VPN is right for you? We tested a variety of services and chose ExpressVPN as the best VPN overall; ExpressVPN offers excellent speed, great customer service, and a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied

Fortunately, both networks are available on cable or satellite providers; ESPN also streams games from the ESPN app and the ESPN website, but the latter requires you to log in and authenticate your cable, satellite, or live TV provider to authenticate your cable, satellite, or live TV provider

If you already have a cable subscription, ESPN and ESPN2 are also available on streaming platforms such as Sling TV, Fubo, Hulu With Live TV, and YouTube TV

Sling Orange, which starts at just $40/month and offers 40 channels, including ESPN, is one of our favorite streaming services; Fubo has 121 channels, including ESPN, for $75/month and is another good choice

NIT Season Tip-Off is one of our live TV streaming platforms, and Fubo streaming ESPN is available in Canada, although not available in Canada via cable or satellite

For those who are not Fubo customers, we recommend opting for our favorite VPN service, ExpressVPN, which will allow you to access another streaming service to watch the games
