It seemed as if the NIT Tournament games were more exciting than the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Tuesday night. Can these four teams change that on Wednesday?

LIU Brooklyn and James Madison, winners of their conference tournament, will play for a chance to face the No. 1 Indiana Hooisers on Friday. The JMU Dukes will be without Rayshawn Goins, the team's scoring and rebounding leader, for the first half. He was suspended for the half after being arrested on Selection Sunday.

The winner of the second game between Boise State and La Salle will take on No. 4 Kansas State in the West Region. Both the Blackbird and Broncos can make school history by winning their first NCAA Tournament game.

"I want them to come in and just play loose, play guns-a-blazing," Boise State coach Leon Rice said, via USA Today.
