NCAA leadership is expected to finalize an expansion of the men’s and women’s tournaments to 76 teams soon after this year’s tournament 🏀
The proposal would add eight games to the First Four, with 24 teams playing in an opening round before advancing into the main bracket.

Steven Pearl on accepting the NIT invite: "I'm here to coach basketball. Our players are here to play basketball. We are here to compete. ... I'm not going to take my ball and go home because we didn't make the (NCAA) tournament."
"Let's go play, go hoop, and have fun with it."
@AuburnMBB should accept the NIT bid. Where the program is currently at, we need more reps and game. I hope ego doesn’t play a factor and we are willing to get better
