March Madness truly begins Thursday, when the “first four” games of the 2021 Men’s NCAA Tournament are played. There’s a few typical day one games and one absolute blockbuster to get us started.
The games begin with two Cinderellas, No. 16 seeds Texas Southern and Mount St. Mary’s, tipping off at 2:10 p.m. PT to officially get things started, scheduled to air on truTV.
From there, it’s a battle of No. 11 seeds, with mid-majors Drake and Wichita State looking to start a deep run from the first day, that game set to begin at 3:27 p.
