2015 MEN'S NCAA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT
March 17, 2015  | By David Bianculli

TruTV, 6:30 p.m. ET

 
Tonight, we get the first battles of the “First Four”: two back-to-back games in which wannabe tournament teams, in the college basketball equivalent of long-shot wild-cards, battle each other to claim the remaining lowest-seeded slots in this year’s bracket. Both of today’s games are televised live from Dayton, OH by TruTV, beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET with Manhattan vs. Hampton. The second game in the doubleheader, beginning at approximately 9 p.m. ET, is BYU vs. Mississippi. Two more games, presenting four more last-ditch wannabes, are presented tomorrow, and winners advance to the tournament proper, which begins Thursday. For the full story, see Gerald Jordan’s Crossing Jordan.
