The first-ish day of the 2017 NCAA Tournament gets underway in just a few hours with two of the four play-in games.
First up, it is a battle of No. 16 seeds between Mount St. Mary’s and New Orleans. After that, it is a play-in game between No. 11 Wake Forest and No. 11 Kansas State.
Mount St. Mary’s is making an appearance in the big dance for the first time in three years after winning the Northeast Conference. It is quite the turnaround for the squad, who spends much of the non-conference schedule getting trashed by big name schools.
