First Four games will continue on Wednesday with a quartet of teams attempting to secure the last two spots in the 2024 NCAA Tournament bracket.

The No. 16 seed in the Midwest Region will be up for grabs when Grambling and Montana State hit the court in Dayton, Ohio. The Tigers earned the SWAC's automatic bid, and the Bobcats captured the Big Sky title. The winner of that contest will face Purdue in the first round.

Colorado vs. Boise State will be the second game of the night. Either the Buffaloes or Broncos will snag the No. 10 seed in the South Region and keep their March Madness run rolling against Florida.

Here is everything you need to know about today's schedule, including tipoff times and TV and streaming options for First Four games.
