The NCAA Tournament expanded from 64 to 68 teams in 2011. The change introduced the First Four round, a set of pre-tournament games in which the four lowest-seeded at-large teams and four lowest-seeded conference champions compete for spots in the traditional 64-team bracket.

Monday was a big win for basketball fans who prefer the NCAA Tournament to remain untouched, but expansion still looms

NCAA senior vice president of basketball Dan Gavitt announced in a statement that various NCAA committees would continue discussions around expanding to 72 or 76 teams for future tournaments beyond next season.
