Basketball tournament is a series of contests involving a relatively large number of teams. A number of basketball teams compete and the one that prevails through the final round or that finishes with the best record is declared the winner.
The term may be used in either of two overlapping senses: (a) One or more competitions held at a single venue and concentrated into a relatively short time interval. (b) A competition involving multiple matches, each involving a subset of the competitors, with the overall tournament winner determined based on the combined results of these individual matches.
A famous form of basketball tournaments are the NCAA basketball tournaments men and women for Divisions I, II and III.
The 1951 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament involved 16 schools playing in single-elimination play to determine the national champion of men's NCAADivision Icollege basketball. It began on March 20, 1951, and ended with the championship game on March 27 at Williams Arena in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A total of 18 games were played, including a third place game in each region and a national third place game.
The tournament was the first to introduce a 16-team field. Only the championship and third place games were held in Minneapolis, while the semifinals were held in the respective regional sites. In this sense, the 1951 tournament did not feature a true "Final Four." This would have to wait until the 1952 tournament.
Locations
The following are the sites selected to host each round of the 1951 tournament:
March 27, 1951 - Kentucky won the NCAA basketball championship over Kansas State, 68–58.
73 years ago today, March 27, 1951 - Kentucky won the NCAA basketball championship over Kansas State, 68–58.
