The 2017 National Invitation Tournament continues Sunday with a trio of second-round games. The NIT had actually done a better job of living up to the March Madness moniker than the NCAA tournament prior to the excitement finally arriving to the Big Dance on Saturday.
While defending national champions Villanova fell in the NCAA tourney Saturday, the NIT also lost one of its top seeds as Syracuse lost to Ole Miss. That leaves Illinois State and Iowa as the event's only No. 1 seeds left standing after Cal's loss to CSU Bakersfield in Round 1.
