Arizona gets past Duke to win NIT Season Tip-Off

It wasn't a marquee matchup of freshmen, although both of the young stars showed how bright their futures can be.

Instead, Arizona's 72-66 victory over Duke on Friday night in the championship game of the NIT Season Tip-Off was a chance for two junior guards to take the spotlight.

Nick Johnson scored all but two of his 15 points in the second half and T.J. McConnell had 10 points and eight assists to lead the Wildcats to the win that showed just how versatile a team they are.
