UMBC and Howard earned automatic bids by winning their conferences; the model projects over 150 combined points in 80% of simulations for their First Four matchup.
- On Tuesday, March 17, UMBC and Howard played a First Four game at UD Arena in Dayton, Ohio with a 6:40 p.m. ET tipoff on truTV, and the winner advances to face 1-seed Michigan on Thursday, March 19, at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York.
- By winning their conference tournaments, UMBC and Howard earned automatic NCAA bids; UMBC with a 24-8 record and a twelve-game winning streak, Howard with a 23-10 record and an eight-game winning streak.

- With First Four results finalized Tuesday night, the 64-team NCAA Tournament bracket is set, and Michigan's first-round opponent remained undecided until the result, leaving their matchup open for Thursday.
