										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The NCAA Selection Committee announced the seeding and pairing for Grambling State and Howard University in the 2024 NCAA Men&#8217;s Basketball Tournament&#8217;s First Four Play-In games.</p>
<p>No. 16 Howard Bison will play No. 16 Wagner Seahawks in the West Region at UD Arena in Dayton, Ohio.</p>
<p>No. 16 Grambling State Tigers are paired with No. 16 Montana State Bobcats in the Midwest Region at UD Arena in Dayton, Ohio.</p>
<p>The official dates and times of the basketball games have yet to be determined.</p>
<p>According to the NCAA, <a href="https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/bracketiq/2024-02-27/first-four-ncaa-tournament-ultimate-guide">the First Four are based on the following</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em> When selecting the teams for the NCAA tournament, the NCAA Division I Men&#8217;s Basketball Committee ranks every team from No. 1 through No. 68. In its current format, the First Four consists of eight teams — the four lowest-seeded automatic qualifiers and the four lowest-seeded at-large teams. Each subset plays against itself (i.e., at-large teams face at-large teams, and automatic qualifiers face automatic qualifiers).</em></p></blockquote>
