    65 teams are enough!

    Good decision.

    It would have only meant 32 more games. Think at how screwed up our brackets would be.

    The only way I would like to see the tourney expanded would be to ditch the NIT tourney. It wouldn't be hard to schedule more games, with to the top 32 getting byes. But 64/65 is enough. I really think the playin game is pretty dumb and they should ditch it.
