The 2015 NCAA Tournament starts on Tuesday with play-in games and the basketball coverage is on truTV for the "First Four" and after that, channels like CBS, TBS and TNT will join in as Turner hosts the coverage and the number one seeds this year include the Kentucky Wildcats, Villanova Wildcats, Duke Blue Devils and Wisconsin Badgers.
The "First Four" will open the tournament once again this year and there will be two games on Tuesday and Wednesday to finish off the bracket of 64 teams. The NCAA smartly changed the name of the round and now the actual first round will be the first round and not called the "second round" like it was last year and in prior years since the play-in games started.
The first matchup of the play-in games has 16-seeds going at it with Hampton and Manhattan playing in the Midwest region. All of the play-in games will be from University of Dayton Arena and the first matchup starts at 6:40 pm ET and the games will be on truTV. Hampton comes in after winning over Delaware State, while Manhattan comes in after winning over Iona.

Ole Miss comes in after a loss against South Carolina, while BYU comes in after falling to Gonzaga. The second day of games has north Florida taking on Robert Morris in a 16-seed matchup and that will be for the South Region.
