The First Four has been around since 2011 and features the last four automatic qualifiers and last four at-large bids playing to whittle the field from 68 to 64. This year will see two 16-seed vs. 16-seed matchups and two 11-seed vs. 11-seed matchups, but don’t write these games off because they involve double-digit seeds.

The men's bracket opening games will be on CBS, TNT, TBS, and TruTV. As usual, The First Four will air exclusively on TruTV, continuing a tradition that dates back to 2011. Once the Round of 64 kicks off, games will be split between CBS, TBS, TNT, and TruTV.
