Text and/or other creative content from NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament was copied or moved into First Four. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. |
The article itself contradicts that statement by noting the HBCU controversy below. And, anyone who pays attention to the sports media, whether ESPN or blogs, can see that the play-in game is routinely and universally mocked as a pointless cash grab every year. I don't know what the best citation for a new writeup of how sports fans view the play-in would be, so I can't change it myself, but it should be changed.

Is there a reason "play-in game" redirects here? Shouldn't it go to a page discussing what a play-in game is? Smartyllama ( talk) 20:08, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
and shouldn't the title be changed since it is offically called Opening Round game? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.91.95.83 ( talk) 21:44, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
The BS at the end should probably be eliminated —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.207.124.106 ( talk) 03:13, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia's naming conventions.I'm not trying to answer this question, I'd rather start a discussion. I understand that there was a previous history of the NCAA Tournament only having 1 play-in game. However, since the First Four has established a history, should the name of this article be changed to the First Four? There are multiple opening round games instead of having the lone play-in game before 2011. What does everyone else think?

I have a more general question: why does this article exist? The opening round of a tournament is only notable in the context of the tournament, if the lack of references is any indication. Delete? NewkirkPlaza ( talk) 19:48, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
The "Team Faced" column seems like arbitrary information in the results section. This looks like it should either be removed or be replaced with complete tournament results. It seems to be a round about way to say what seed that winner of the First Four game was given after winning and joining the round of 64. Personally, I think adding the complete results of each team adds supporting evidence to the success of the First Four and is interesting and pertinent information.
