First Four Tuesday Night Open Thread

It's almost time to hit the road to Indianapolis and find TruTV again. Game 1 (6:40 p.m. Eastern) is a regional showdown between MEAC champ Howard and America East champ UMBC, who last met in Catonsville last season, a 95-77 Retriever win. The nightcap (approx. 9:15 p.m.) is a rematch of the Maui 5th place game from Thanksgiving Eve, a thrilling 102-97 Texas win over NC State.

I'll be hanging out here during the games tonight (and tomorrow), so jump on in!
