2019 NCAA Tournament First Four And Thursday Predictions

The First Four kicks off the 2019 NCAA Tournament today with Farleigh Dickinson taking on Prairie View A&M and Temple and Belmont in the nightcap.

We’ve read up a bit and we think that Fairleigh Dickinson is a reasonably well coached team. But Prairie View is too - any team that’s top five in turnover margin is bound to be. Also this team started 1-11 because of a tough non-conference schedule and has lost just once since January. That’s impressive.

Back in the day, Prairie View was a joke, a team that had record long losing streaks.
