Four more teams square off in Dayton for a chance at the Round of 64.
For the fifth straight year, the NCAA Tournament has tipped off with the First Four in Dayton, Ohio. With one night of games already done, the college basketball world turns its attention to the final two games that will determine the last 64 teams standing.
Night two in Dayton will use the same format to the first night. The 16 seeds are up first, and this time it is NEC champion Robert Morris facing Atlantic Sun champion North Florida. The Colonials reached the NCAA Tournament for the eighth time in 2015, this time by knocking off conference regular season champion St. Francis-Brooklyn on the road in the NEC title game. North Florida, meanwhile, is in the tournament for the first time in school history. The Ospreys beat USC Upstate in the Atlantic Sun championship game to cap a dominant season in the conference.
The winner of the Robert Morris-North Florida game will face Duke in the Second Round on Friday.
When Robert Morris and North Florida are done, 11 seeds Boise State and Dayton will take the floor. Dayton has been the host school for the First Four since the event's inception, but has never participated. The Flyers, from the Atlantic 10, will get a rare NCAA Tournament home game on Wednesday when they welcome the Broncos out of the Mountain West. The winner of that game will face 6 seed Providence on Friday night.
The full schedule for Wednesday night is below (all times Eastern):
6:40 p.m.: No. 16 Robert Morris vs. No. 16 North Florida, TruTV
9:10 p.m (approx.): No. 11 Boise State vs. No. 11 Dayton, TruTV
