Since then, a total of 19 HBCU men&#8217;s basketball programs have played in the first round of the March Madness bracket.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s dive in to the past performance of the HBCU programs during the first round.<\/p>\n<p>School breakdown<\/p>\n<p>Texas Southern has the most round of 64 appearances of any HBCU men&#8217;s basketball program, but has yet to win a game.
