2022 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament: First Four Top Moments, Day 1
The 2022 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament kicked off on Tuesday night with a pair of First Four games in Dayton, Ohio.
Texas Southern started the night with an impressive 76-67 win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. It is the second year in a row that the Tigers won a First Four matchup.
In the second game of the night, Trayce Jackson-Davis scored 29 points to lead Indiana to a 66-58 win over Wyoming.
Here are the top moments from Tuesday's action.
Living above the rim!
Scoring was hard to come by early in this game, but that doesn't mean there weren't exciting plays. This putback slam is the proof.
How about another?
Jordan Geronimo lived above the rim in the first half, recording two putback dunks to keep the Hoosier faithful energized.
Fighting back
Indiana produced the highlights in the first half, but Wyoming stood tough and continued to fight back to remain close.
Exclamation point!
Trayce Jackson-Davis put the finishing touches on Indiana's win with a ferocious left-handed dunk!
The Hoosiers would go on to win their first NCAA Tournament game since 2016 and will now face Saint Mary's on Thursday night.
The ball is tipped!
Texas A&M-CC and Texas Southern is underway in a "First Four" matchup in the Midwest Region. Get ready for an action-packed month of college basketball.
Deep range!
Texas A&M-CC and Texas Southern were going at it in a back-and-forth affair. Bryson Etienne gave the Tigers their first lead of the night thanks to this deep 3-pointer.
Whirling dervish
Terrion Murdix takes it to the rack and makes an acrobatic shot. We can only hope there is more where this came from over the next three weeks.
On an island
The moment is not too big for Trey Tennyson, who stepped up in the second half to drain big shots like this 3-pointer to give Texas A&M-CC the lead.
LeBron-like
If you didn't know any better, you might have thought this was LeBron James.
In the end, TSU came out on top with the win. The Tigers will now move on to face the Kansas Jayhawks in the first round of the tournament.
