Xavier trailed by as many as 13 points before rallying in the final minutes to edge Texas 86-80 in the final game of the First Four

The First Four of men's March Madness continued Wednesday with Mount St. Mary's vs. American and Xavier vs. Texas. Here is how it all went down.

The First Four is officially in the books. No. 11 seed Xavier stunned No. 11 seed Texas with an 86-80 comeback win to cap two incredible days of basketball from Dayton, Ohio. The Musketeers will face No.

After months of anticipation, March Madness is finally here. Of the 68 teams chosen for the NCAA Tournament on Selection Sunday, eight will square off during the First Four Round to determine the final four spots in the men’s March Madness bracket.

Rick Pitino’s impact may be seen beyond St. John’s. When the bracket was released, the coach of the Red Storm — who went 3-0 against Marquette this season — immediately texted the scouting report to his son, Richard, who has led New Mexico to the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year. The help may not even be necessary.
