It’s the time of year that we have been waiting for: It’s NCAA Tournament time.
While you’re worrying about your family or office pool and trying to prove your hoops knowledge, four teams are gearing up for their play-in games that will set off tournament play.
This year’s First Four features two games between 16 seeds and two games between 11 seeds.
