The second round of the National Invitation Tournament continues on Sunday with three games, including a pair of upset-minded matchups with teams looking to continue their success from the first round.

The first game of the day features the No. 6 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets against the No. 7 Belmont Bruins at 12 p.m. ET on ESPN. Georgia Tech dispatched the No. 3 Indiana Hoosiers on Tuesday night, a 75-63 win that proved to be the final game of Tom Crean’s nine-year tenure leading the Hoosiers.

Later on Sunday is another 6-7 matchup, with the Richmond Spiders facing the Oakland Golden Grizzlies. Those teams dispatched Alabama and Clemson respectively, robbing us of a potential crossover rematch of the last two College Football Playoff championship games.

Two of the four No. 1 seeds are still alive in the NIT, including the Iowa Hawkeyes, who battle the No. 4 TCU Horned Frogs for a spot in the quarterfinals.

One No. 1 seed fell on Saturday, with the Syracuse Orange losing to the Ole Miss Rebels, 85-80 in the second round.

The three NIT games on Sunday will be spread across the ESPN family of networks, with online streaming available through Watch ESPN.
