Cal. State - Bakersfield at Georgia Tech 7:00 PM ET
Georgia Tech has embraced the challenge of the NIT and played its way to Madison Square Garden in New York for a semifinal matchup with WAC regular-season champion Cal State Bakersfield on Tuesday night. The Yellow Jackets, who came up a few wins short of an NCAA Tournament bid, beat higher seeds Indiana and Ole Miss on the way to their first NIT semifinal since 1971 when they lost to North Carolina in the championship game.
Texas Christian at Central Florida 9:00 PM ET
TCU coach Jamie Dixon has plenty of experience on the sidelines at Madison Square Garden, something he hopes can help his Horned Frogs when they take on Central Florida in the semifinals of the NIT on Tuesday in New York. "We've done this a lot, been to New York a bunch," Dixon - who coached 41 games at the arena while at Pittsburgh - told reporters. "It's a special place in March. There's no other place I'd rather be."
