1995: My first time being at the NCAA's: Miami University took on Virginia in the 2nd round. Virginia outlasts the Redhawks 60-54 in overtime. Kansas defeats Western Kentucky in the nightcap
2006: Six outstanding games: Ohio State outlasts Davidson, Georgetown squeaks by Northern Iowa, George Mason begins their magical run to the Final Four by defeating Michigan State, North Carolina outlasts Murray State. George Mason defeats North Carolina and Georgetown defeats Ohio State
2009: Oklahoma State stunns Tennesee on a last second basket, Pitt destroys ETSU, Louisville destroys Morehead State and Sienna stuns Ohio State in double overtime
2011: The First Four comes to Dayton: Clemson defeats UAB. VCU begins their Magical ride to the Final Four by defeating USC
Dayton has no idea how lucky they are to host the First Four. You think of cities like Chicago, Indianapolis, Atlanta (which is hosted the Final Four this year), Los Angeles, New York, East Rutherford (Izod Center; formerly called The Meadowlands), that have great venues like they do and Dayton of all of these cities, gets to host the beginning of the NCAA tournament. It's awesome.
