I mean at this point just get rid of the regular season and let everyone in. Seems like such a stupid move especially considering we've entered a time where the tournament is already very chalky as it is.

Man I'm stoked to watch some P5 teams with losing records duke it out ahead of the R64.

What's known now as the First Four -- eight teams playing four games in Dayton, Ohio -- will expand to 12 games played by 24 teams at two different sites, one of which is expected to remain in Dayton.


At least they're calling it an expansion of the "first 4 in" concept.

At this point, why not just invite all 350 or so D-I teams to the tournament?
