NIT Tournament 2012 Schedule And Bracket: Keep That Basketball Buzz Going Monday

The NCAA Tournament is off until Thursday, but there’s some decent basketball to hold you over just in case you can’t get away from basketball for a day. The NIT Second Round resumes on Monday with three games. Five of the tournament’s quarterfinalists are already set and the remaining three will be determined on Monday.

The Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders face the Tennessee Volunteers in an in-state showdown to kick off the night. Tubby Smith's Minnesota Golden Gophers play the Miami Hurricanes after that, while the Stanford Cardinal take on the Illinois St. Redbirds in the nightcap.

No. 4 Middle Tennessee vs. Tennessee - 7:00 p.m. ET, ESPN
No. 6 Minnesota vs. No. 2 Miami - 9:00 p.m. ET, ESPN
