2014 Women's NCAA Tournament, NIT, CBI, CIT, WNIT, WBI, NAIA: 3/24 TV Schedule

The final three games of the NIT second round are tonight, and they're pretty much going to be the television highlight this evening unless you're not averse to watching women's basketball. Of direct interest to Wildcat fans, Nick Russell and the SMU Mustangs host Louisiana State.

Finally finding some room on the television schedule tonight is the College Basketball Invitational, with half the quarterfinal slate airing on CBS Sports Network.

The second round of the CIT comes to a close as Nebraska's Last (men's) Team Standing takes to the hardwood to try and continue their run in the only tournament they're eligible for until 2017.

Obviously, not too many people without an investment are going to pony up to watch the NAIA semifinals, but if you're in Kansas City there's tickets to be had. Saint Gregory's and MidAmerica Nazarene come into the semifinals as unseeded combatants; Saint Gregory's is theoretically the 18th seed, while MANC is the 20th. For NCAA equivalency purposes, this is like a final four featuring five-vs-two matchups in both semifinals.

There's not much in the way of overly-compelling matchups in tonight's second round, although there are two Big 12 teams in action and we've got a shot at a double-digit seed sneaking into the Sweet Sixteen. Most amusing fixture: Blue Demons vs Blue Devils. Finally, we can resolve a long-simmering debate over which is more evil.

The Pac-12 has the misfortune to have two of its teams meeting in the second round, and to top it off they're hated rivals. Good times.

This is the final quarterfinal game in the WBI, the winner taking on Fairfield for a ticket to the final.

The women do things a bit differently than the men, actually seeding four brackets from 1-8. As a result, those seed indications are exactly as familiar to you as you expect. Freed-Hardeman entered the event as the top overall seed, and they're looking to do something relatively rare in NAIA Tournament history: actually hold up their end of that bargain. John Brown, out of Siloam Springs, has the distinction of being the closest team geographically, via roads, to BotC HQ still playing basketball, beating out the Razorbacks by mere miles.
