2011 March Madness Bracket: First Four Gets Underway On TruTV

The 2011 NCAA Tournament gets underway on Tuesday night with two opening round First Four games that will be televised on truTV. The first game between UNC-Asheville and Arkansas-Little Rock will decide the No. 16 seed to face No. 1 Pittsburgh in the Southeast regional, but the second game will be one of interest to watch by Colorado Buffaloes fans. It will be so because UAB will face Clemson for the No. 12 seed in the East Regional.

The UAB Blazers received a bid to March Madness over the Colorado Buffaloes, who had to settle for a No. 1 seed in the NIT.An opening round loss for UAB will not be good for them or the NCAA selection committee.
