The NCAA unveiled its plans for the newly expanded 68-team men's basketball tournament Monday: Beginning next March, eight teams will play early the opening week in a "First Four" round, with the winners advancing to games on Thursday or Friday.

Two of the games will match the tournament's lowest seeds, Nos. 65 through 68. The other two games will include the last four at-large qualifiers......

The NCAA said there could be games on both Tuesday and Wednesday. If that were the case, the Tuesday winners would play Thursday and the Wednesday winners would play Friday.
