While it may not have the allure of the NCAA Tournament, the NIT gives programs a chance to continue developing young talent and give the departing seniors a couple more memories before the clock finally strikes zero. On Tuesday, the NIT field will be narrowed from four teams to two with two semifinal games.

The first game of the night is between No. 3 seed Clemson and top-seeded SMU. After just missing out on the Big Dance, Larry Brown has the Mustangs playing well once again. Clemson, on the other hand, is coming off narrow wins over Illinois and Belmont.

Tip-off for this one is set for 7 p.m. ET and can be seen on ESPN2 and online via WatchESPN. ESPN Radio will also have the call, so check the local affiliate in your neck of the woods.

The second tilt of the evening at Madison Square Garden will pit two No. 1 seeds against each other as Florida State and Minnesota square off. For two teams that really struggled down the stretch in late January and February, it’s impressive that the coaching staffs have been able to quickly turn things around and make something out of March. This game will tip at approximately 9 p.m. ET and can also be seen and heard on ESPN2, WatchESPN and ESPN Radio.
