And Dayton set to host the 'First Four'... good thing that they are adding the at-large teams to it, because $80 and $100 would be pretty steep for a of 16/17 seeds...


The first multi-team expansion of the Division I Men’s Basketball Championship in more than 25 years will be showcased in a familiar host city.

The Division I Men’s Basketball Committee announced today that the University of Dayton will host the 2011 NCAA First Four, the four first-round games of next year’s championship. Two games will feature teams battling to advance as two of the tournament’s No. 16 seeds, while the other two games will pit the last four at-large teams selected to the field. The 68-team field will be announced on Selection Sunday, March 13, with first-round games taking place Tuesday and Wednesday, March 15-16.

The first four games will be nationally televised in primetime on Turner Broadcasting’s truTV, as part of the NCAA’s 14-year broadcast agreement with Turner and CBS.

That strikes me as a good way to do the play-in games.
