After a dramatic opening day of the 2011 NIT Basketball Tournament, day 2 has a lot to live up to. A couple of teams that feel they got the shaft from the NCAA Tournament Committee are in action, with Colorado and Virginia Tech both taking the floor. The Cleveland State Vikings and Kent St. Golden Flashes will get a well-deserved break after big wins in yesterday's action.
The Big Ten has one team - Northwestern - in action tonight against Horizon League runner-up Milwaukee in Evanston, Indiana.
