Jon RothsteinAlabama, Houston, and Purdue will view this season as a disappointment if they don't reach the Final Four
There are certain programs that have opportunities in front of them that they're not going to have a line like this for a significantly long time. One is Alabama... Another is Houston because Houston has obviously the final four in its home city. And the third would be Purdue. Those are all programs where if they don't make it to Houston to play in a final four, you will feel like the season's a disappointment.

This is one of the biggest miscarriage of justices that I have seen in all my years covering college basketball... North Carolina was one and 12 against quad one opponents. That is just a fact of life... My heart breaks for West Virginia, it breaks for Indiana that North Carolina got this opportunity instead of them.
Jon RothsteinAutomatic Qualifiers (AQs) should always play on Thursday/Friday, while at-large teams play in the First Four
I think if you're good enough to get an automatic qualifier to the NCAA tournament, you deserve to partake in the Thursday and Friday of the first week... put the last eight at large teams in the first four, it would reward these programs again at the lower level and give them the NCAA tournament experience.
