It's the first of the two doubleheaders in Dayton, as the NCAA shifts back towards calling these games "play-in" games. I wish they would retroactively do that, so I don't have to read about teams being in the "Second Round" with an 0-1 record in that year's tournament.
Here's an odd fun fact: KenPom does not have predictions for either of the games today. In fact, none of the NCAA tournament games currently have predictions, not even Kansas vs. Austin Peay.
Time (CT) | Game | Network |
5:40pm | #16 Fairleigh Dickinson vs #16 Florida Gulf Coast | TruTV |
8:10pm | #11 Vanderbilt vs #11 Wichita State | TruTV |
If these games get out of control and you've already binged all of the new episodes of House of Cards, the NIT also gets started today.
