March Madness is officially finally here with the First Four, the annual four-team play-in at Dayton, Ohio, to see who are the final true additions to Field of 64.
The double-header of basketball tonight kicks off with Texas A&M Corpus Christi, the winners of the Southland Conference, and Southeast Missouri State, who went 10-8 in conference play but defeated both Morehead State and Tennessee Tech to win the Ohio Valley Conference.
The night cap features a couple of much larger teams fighting to showcase their potential for inclusion. The Pittsburgh Panthers were a somewhat “feel good” story from the ACC until they got absolutely pasted by Duke in the ACC Tournament and barely squeaked in.
Pitt will take on Mississippi State, an 8-10 in SEC conference team the advanced metrics like a bit better than their record. Although to be fair to the Mississippi State Bulldogs, they opened conference play with seven losses in eight games.
