Host Schools

[edit]

I'd like to find out what the source of the Host school and conference information is. Thank you. Karl — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.72.32.118 (talk) 06:26, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Warren Buffett/Quicken Loans Billion Dollar Bracket

[edit]

It's certainly notable coverage for this year's tourney, yet there is no coverage in this article. MMetro (talk) 20:53, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Conference records

[edit]

The table for conference records only shows teams in the "second round" but the records for each conference apparently include the play-in games. Either the table should be changed to match the records, or the records should include only games from the round of 64 onward. As it is, the records and the table do not match. If someone has a solution other than removing play-in games from the records or addign a column to the table, please chime in. Adding a column seems the best approach (at least until the committee gets over itself and goes back to 64 teams... hahahahaha). LUxlii (talk) 19:11, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I added a note below the table. Tewapack (talk) 20:54, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That looks like a good solution - it's not perfect, but we're dealing with the greed of the NCAA here, so a real 64 team bracket isn't a likely outcome.LUxlii (talk) 19:40, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What does everyone think of adding an asterisk to number of bids to indicate the play-in games? I know the NCAA doesn't like that term, but that is what they are, and they exists to increase the revenue (since four big conference schools with substantial followings were essentially added to the 64-team bracket, regardless of who has to play in). I will admit to having a strong bias against the 68-team nonsense, though VCU in years past and Tennessee this year show that those last four can win some games (perhaps with some momentum advantage in the first two rounds, but it's hard to discount a final four appearance).LUxlii (talk) 19:46, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

UConn

[edit]

Connecticut is the only team that had both men and women winning the National Championship in the same year. This happened in 2004, and again in 2014. Can someone please add this into the article, in an appropriate section? Thanks. Go, Huskies! Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 18:37, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
