Expansion: What our 76 team bracket would look like

Expansion: What our 76 team bracket would look like

Here is a look at our final bracket if the tournament expanded to 76 teams. We used a criteria of needing to be 4 games over .500 to quality. We are not advocating for this change, just providing info

The typical 14-16 seeds are huge underdogs most years. This allows for eight teams to experience a tournament win and advance to the second round. The games would be played on the same two night over three networks. We selected Dayton, Hinkle Fieldhouse and The Palestra as host sites. You could maybe add Allen Fieldhouse to move some games westward.

Expansion is likely to happen. If it does, there needs to be added criteria to include non-power 5 teams to the tournament. Take a look and let us know what you think.
