First Four (Dayton)

No. 16 Alabama State def. No. 16 Saint Francis, 70-68
An incredible opening game in the NCAA Tournament unfolded on Tuesday night, with both sides battling back and forth until an improbable late game-winner for Alabama State. A full-length heave down the floor was bobbled around and landed with Amarr Knox, who hit a layup for the dramatic win.

No. 11 North Carolina def. No. 11. San Diego State, 95-68
North Carolina made short work of San Diego State, building a 24-point lead by halftime and cruising the rest of the way. Veteran RJ Davis was lights out, scoring 26 points with an 8-of-12 night from the floor and a perfect 6-of-6 night from downtown.
