College basketball insiders are prepping for an expanded field in the very near future, though the bracket wouldn't grow too much larger.
coach John Calipari wasn’t shy about his opinion on potential NCAA Tournament expansion when asked Wednesday about the possibility of the Big Dance growing to include more than the current 68 teams. “I hope it stays where it is,” he said. “I know people get mad. They get mad at the committee. You won’t believe this. I’ve been mad at that committee a few times. But you may be mad because of your seed or where they’ve shipped you to. … But it doesn’t matter who the committee is.
“Whoever is on it is going to get the same grief, that this group got, the last group got. It’s what it is. No science to this. You’re going to make some mistakes.” Calipari’s , a No. 3 seed, will begin their March Madness journey Thursday at 7:10 p.m. ET with a game against the No. 14 seeded in Pittsburgh. Oakland coach Greg Kampe shared Calipari’s anti-expansion sentiment. “It’s hard to get here, but when you do, look at the opportunities that you have.
