The first tickets to the dance have been punched. Loyola (IL), Liberty, Winthrop and Morehead State are the first four teams headed to the NCAA Tournament. Over the next week we will find out who the other 64 teams will be. The biggest winner this week may have been Michigan State, who got a huge win over Michigan.
