Alabama State and North Carolina both won in Tuesday's March Madness First Four games, albeit in different ways. Scores, highlights, results and more:

Xavier trailed by as many as 13 points before rallying in the final minutes to edge Texas 86-80 in the final game of the First Four

For a few minutes, it looked like the Tar Heels were going to validate their critics. They committed turnovers on four of their first six possessions against a San Diego State defense ranked 13th in the country on KenPom. UNC's offense should have been good enough to hang with that unit, but it was a bad beginning.
