NCAA Scores 2023: First Four Day 1 Results, Updated Men's Bracket and Schedule

Your bracket deadline may not be until tip-off at 12:15 p.m. ET Thursday, when No. 9 Maryland faces off against No. 8 West Virginia, but that doesn't mean March Madness isn't underway.

The NCAA men's basketball tournament got started in Dayton, Ohio, on Tuesday with the first matchups of the First Four, which will be staged over Tuesday and Wednesday.

In the First Four, the four lowest-seeded auto-bids and the four lowest-seeded at-large bids face off to gain entry to the 68-team bracket.

In the early evening slot on Tuesday, No. 16 seeds Southeast Missouri and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi faced off, with the latter emerging triumphant, 75-71.

On Thursday, Texas A&M CC will take on a juggernaut in No. 1 Alabama at 2:45 p.m. ET on CBS.

In the later slot, No. 11 Pitt squeaked by Mississippi State 60–59 in a barnburner that featured 21 lead changes, something we haven't seen for a long time in the NCAA Tournament.

Pitt will now play Friday against No. 6 Iowa State at 3:10 p.m. ET on truTV.

On Wednesday, No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson will face No. 16 Texas Southern at 6:40 p.m. ET, followed by No. 11 Arizona State vs. No. 11 Nevada at 9:10 p.m., both on truTV.

Let's take a look at the remaining schedule for the First Four games, as well as the schedule and seedings for the first round, set to get underway Thursday. (Get those brackets in!)
