Your 2016 NCAA Tournament First Four Day 1 Open Thread

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.
