[NU Sports] WOW!

[Jonathan Hodges]

There will be 68 teams in the tournament this season, which includes 4
play-in games (3 more than the previous setup).  I believe the new play-in
games (called the "First Four") will include the last at 4 large teams in
and the last 4 automatic qualifiers, although who they face depends on the
seeds, I think.  Do note that these new play-in games will be on a
relatively obscure network (truTV) due to the new TV contract with Turner
(TBS, TNT) and CBS.
