The 2017 NCAA tournament (kind of) kicks off this evening with the first of two First Four doubleheaders. I vehemently disagree with the mere existence of these games (#Team64TeamTournament 4 lyfe), but I have to admit that any day with high stakes college basketball on TV has to be a pretty good day.
The winner of the the #16 seeds game will advance to Thursday and play #1 Villanova in Buffalo, while the #11 seeds game winner gets #6 Cincinnati but they have to schlep all the way out to Sacramento for that one.
Wait, Sacramento?
