Also anyone kind of pissed that everyone refers to the old first round, with 64 teams, now as the second round? I dont remember that going on last year. When it used to be just 1 play-in game no one ever referred to the main round as the second round. Its just confusing and i feel like everytime you hear someone say the "Second Round" on radio or tv they have to qualify it by adding "of 64".

I wonder if NCAA is pushing it to draw more interest or ratings in the First Four/Play-In/Opening Round/First Round or whatever else it might be called. Maybe they want to further expand it?
