March Madness began with the conference tournament and now moves to the Big Dance. The First Four features a mix of midmajor programs and Power Four squads with middling resumes battling in Dayton, Ohio. That group — which includes Texas basketball, Miami of Ohio and Howard — will play four games over the next two days to decide the final 11 and 16 seeds for the tournament.
