The men’s college basketball tournament features top-notch matchups, starting with four quality games on Thanksgiving Day: Penn State vs Texas A&M, Florida Atlantic vs Butler, Iowa State vs Virginia Commonwealth and Boise State vs Virginia Tech. Six of the teams in this year’s field played in the 2023 NCAA Tournament including FAU which made it all the way to the Final Four for the first time in the school’s history.
