The initial two First Four games are in the books, but two more play-in games must be decided before 2022 NCAA Tournament’s 64-team bracket is finalized.
The first game, featuring Wright State and Bryant, tips off at 6:40 p.m. ET. The winner will only have a short time to celebrate the clinching of the South region’s No. 16 seed, as they advance to take on a loaded Arizona squad on Friday.
Rutgers and Notre Dame are set to go head-to-head at 9:10 p.m. ET in the final First Four matchup of the 2022 NCAA Tournament.
Despite being on the bubble and amongst the last four programs to get a bid to the Big Dance, these teams both have the talent to make a deep March Madness run. The winner earns the right to face No. 6-seeded Alabama in two days as the West region’s No. 11 seed.
Read on for a viewing guide for these First Four clashes, which has the full schedule, TV channels and live stream information for both games.
