About NCAA March Madness First Four
The NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament First Four originated in 2011 as an extension of the traditional March Madness bracket. Held annually in Dayton, Ohio, the First Four features four play-in games involving eight teams: the four lowest-seeded automatic qualifiers and the four lowest-seeded at-large teams. This format increased the tournament field from 64 to 68 teams, allowing more teams a shot at competing on the national stage. The First Four games determine the final spots in the main 64-team bracket, adding a layer of excitement as teams battle to officially enter the tournament’s first round.
Over the years, the First Four has produced several memorable moments and notable underdog stories. In 2011, VCU (Virginia Commonwealth University) famously won its First Four game and went on an extraordinary run to the Final Four, inspiring the nickname “First Four to Final Four.” Similarly, in 2018, the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), while not a First Four team, made history as the first 16-seed to defeat a 1-seed, proving the unpredictability that the First Four often foreshadows. Teams like UCLA in 2021 have also leveraged First Four wins as springboards to deeper tournament runs, showcasing the First Four as a platform for unexpected heroes and inspiring Cinderella stories.
