March Madness 2013 TV schedule: First Four concludes Wednesday’s schedule
Two First Four games will highlight Wednesday night’s March Madness TV schedule. In the first matchup, LIU-Brooklyn and James Madison will square off in a battle of No. 16 seeds, while in the night cap No. 13 seeds La Salle and Boise State try to advance in the West Region.

The story of the first matchup is James Madison forward Rayshawn Goins, who will be suspended for the first half of this game following an arrest on Sunday. Goins is the Dukes' leading scorer at 12.7 points per game this season and his absence should be a big advantage for LIU-Brooklyn, which averaged 79.5 points per game this season, the fifth-highest total in the country.
Following the first game, La Salle and Boise State will square off, with the winner advancing to play the West’s No. 4 seed Kansas State.
For La Salle, the key to victory will be to get improved play from guard Ramon Galloway. The senior from Philadelphia averaged 17 points per game this season, but has struggled of late, scoring just 12 points combined in the Explorers' last two outings.
Boise State meanwhile is led by Anthony Drmic, who averaged 17.3 points per game this season.
