INDIANAPOLIS -- The NCAA says the University of Dayton will host all four first-round games of the newly expanded men's basketball tournament next March.
Two games will match the tournament's lowest seeds, Nos. 65 through 68, with the winners advancing as No. 16 seeds to play a top seed. The other two games will match the last four at-large qualifiers.
The 68-team field will be announced March 13, with first-round games taking place Tuesday and Wednesday, March 15-16.
The NCAA announced in April that it would add three teams to the field, the first expansion since the tournament went from 64 teams to 65 in 2001. Dayton, Ohio, has hosted the early game every year.
