The names of the NCAA tournament rounds are finally going to make sense again
Posted Nov 18, 2014
During the NCAA tournament, news organizations, fans and teams were often confused by one very simple fact: What round is this? Since the expansion of the tournament to include an opening round of games of the lowest-seeded teams to fight to get into the actual tournament in 2011, the NCAA has taken to calling the opening round — which consists of the final four at large-teams fighting for a chance to take on a top-seeded team that they will most likely lose to — “the first four” with winners advancing to what was known as the “second round”.
