NC State University and UNC-Chapel Hill both have games scheduled in the NCAA basketball tournament tonight.

NC State and North Carolina see action in today's second round of the NCAA men's basketball tournament.  

The number eight seed Wolfpack takes on ninth seed Louisiana State University.  The fourth seed Tar Heels face number 13 seed Harvard.  

Despite suffering from plantar fasciitis, Carolina point guard Marcus Paige says his foot has completely healed and he's ready to go.

"Everyone's hungry, you know, there's seniors on every team that don't want this to be their last game and everyone has high hopes of making a run or making something special happen, but right now all of our attention is focused on how we can get by Harvard."

North Carolina's game is at 7:20 tonight. NC State plays at 9:20. Number one seed Duke plays 16 seed Robert Morris tomorrow.
