The second day of the first round of the NCAA Tournament takes place this evening before the real festivities get underway in earnest on Thursday.

LIU-Brooklyn will duke it out with James Madison in a battle of #16 seeds, while Boise State and LaSalle tangle in a matchup of #13 seeds.

Meanwhile, the Miami Heat continue their assault on the record books when LeBron and company go into hostile territory to take on the Cavaliers in the hopes of winning their 24th consecutive game. The Heat, of course, own the second-longest winning streak in NBA history.

And in case you need a breather from all the basketball that’s about to come your way, the NHL may be a good bet tonight when the Chicago Blackhawks meet the Anaheim Ducks in a battle of the league’s top two teams.
