Message: [QUOTE="Blakeon18, post: 4072946, member: 35"] I see a mention in today's paper that the NCAA is 'close to' going to 68 teams for the women's tournament. Final decision to be next month. I assume this means for the current season and beyond? This makes it 'equal' to the men's tournament. IMO...'equal' does not equate to 'positive change' at times. I don't like the 'play-in' games on the men's side. The women's mention does not indicate if that will be the exact policy on our side. You have an entire regular season plus a conference tournament to earn a spot...after those opportunities are gone I don't think it helps the event to get a chance to 'play in'....you are already 'In' or 'Out'. This would be even more true on the women's side given the relative lack of quality of teams when you get to 14-16 seeds. Keep the automatic entries even in the one bid leagues...Cinderellas should be in the house. But keep it at 64. [/QUOTE]
