First Four Begins

March Madness is beginning, as the First Four will take place, a round before the true tournament begins. The teams go as follows: Vanderbilt vs. Wichita State, Tulsa vs. Michigan, Holy Cross vs. Southern, and Florida Gulf Coast vs. Fairleigh Dickinson. The Vanderbilt-Wichita game and the Tulsa-Michigan game will decide who will be eleven seeds, and the Holy Cross-Southern and FGCU-Fairleigh Dickinson games will decide two number 16 seeds. This round is often considered irrelevant by many, because the odds to win another game are not very high for the winning teams. After this round, the Big Dance goes in full swing, as the Round of 64 begins.
