As of now, there are 65 teams in the tournament. Two teams (generally considered to be the worst in the tournament) play an "opening round" game. The winner gets the fourth 16 seed in the first round of the tournament.
The NCAA tournament expanded from 48 teams to 64 in 1985 and increased to the current 65 teams in 2001. There are some who propose increasing the number to 96, but the NCAA tournament committee is not considering that option at this time.
