Top seeded Florida will be taking to the court on Thursday, as will defending champions Louisville, and over the next two days this should arguably be one of the best 48 hours of American sports in 2014.
The NCAA introduced the "First Four" in 2011 in an effort to expand the tournament even more. The winners of those First Four Games made it through to the traditional grouping of 64 teams.
Some have criticized the First Four round, but others point out it was the lesser of two evils, as organizers were originally touting expanding the NCAA to 96 games.
The 64 teams have now been confirmed and have been divided into four different regions, with each region containing 16 teams. The Selection Committee has seeded each of the 16 teams in each region from 1 through 16 based on the teams' records, strength of schedule.
In this Second Round, the highest seeded teams are given the reward of facing teams that are theoretically supposed to be easier to beat – the lower seeded teams; so the No. 1 seeds face the No. 16 seeds, and the No. 2 seeds face the No. 15 seeds and so on.
On Sunday, the NCAA announced that Florida, Arizona, Virginia and Wichita State would be 2014's number one seeds.
