in ny , he will tell you exactly the games will be played. he knows the whole routine by heart. pure and simple worst 32 teams bump heads and play each other. than the tournament starts , instead of starting the first round, 2nd round is tournament with best 64 teams left, problem is regular season is meaningless and tournament is an exhibition since almost everyone makes tournament. my 2 cents.
Additonal games will be played the Tuesday and Wednesday of the SECOND week. To me this sounds like if you attend the 1st and 2nd rounds, you will only get to see the #1-#8 seeds play ONCE. Meanwhile you get to see the 96th team play one of the 9 seeds and the winner will then take on the 8 seed. Who wants to pay to watch all those play-in type games on day 1 of the tourney?
The winner is the four regional sites. They will get what used to be the 2nd round as well as the sweet sixteen and the elite 8 games. These venues are generally football stadiums so the NCAA will get bigger crowds for the 3rd round than ever before. Remember, there were 47,000 plus at the Elite 8 game with Duke in Houston.
