Men's NCAA Tournament continues tonight with the First Four. Find out how to watch and live stream both games.

Before the tournament expanded to 68 teams in 2011, there used to be a single opening-round game between No. 16 seeds just to get in the actual tournament. But with the enhanced TV deal with Turner Sports and CBS that was set to start back in 2011, the NCAA worked to take a different approach with the First Four.

The penultimate matchup of the First Four belongs to No. 16 teams Mount St. Mary’s and American University. Both teams finished the season with 22-12 records and earned 16 seeds, warranting a play-in game to make the first round and official 64-team bracket.
