The 2016 NCAA Tournament continues to have problems getting fans to their seats to start games.
After the Utah-Fresno State game tipped off with very few fans in the building on Thursday, a bizarre scene took place on Friday as Green Bay and Texas A&M started their opening-round matchup at Chesapeake Arena in Oklahoma City, Okla. with almost a completely empty arena.
The changeover at certain venues has led to fans filing in late, especially with games going down to the wire like the Oklahoma-Cal State Bakersfield matchup from earlier in the afternoon.
