This is a list of qualifying teams for the 2011 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament. A total of 68 teams entered the tournament, an increase of three from the prior season with introduction of the opening round "First Four". Thirty of the teams earned automatic bids by winning their conference tournaments. The automatic bid of the Ivy League, which did not conduct a postseason tournament, went to its regular season champion. The remaining 37 teams were granted at-large bids, which were extended by the NCAA Selection Committee. All teams were seeded within their assigned region from 1 to 16, which was disclosed, while the Selection Committee seeded the entire field from 1 to 68, which was not disclosed.
Team names used below are consistent with ESPN.com scoreboards and individual team pages on Wikipedia.
Automatic bids
Automatic bids to the tournament were granted for winning a conference championship tournament, except for the automatic bid of the Ivy League given to the regular season champion (though Princeton and Harvard were required to break a tie with a one-game playoff). Seeds listed were seeds within the conference tournaments. Runners-up in bold face were given at-large berths.

Tournament procedure
For the first time, a total of 68 teams will enter the tournament.[1] Thirty of the thirty-one automatic bids will be given to the programs that win their conference tournaments. The remaining automatic bid will go to the Ivy League champion since they do not hold a conference tournament. The remaining 37 teams will be granted "at-large" bids, which are extended by the NCAA Selection Committee. All 68 teams have been announced on Selection Sunday March 13, 2011.
The Selection Committee will rank the entire field from 1 to 68. The last four at-large teams selected and the four lowest ranked automatic qualifiers will play in a "First Four".[2] The four winners of those games advance to the main draw of the tournament to play a higher seed. The four lowest ranked teams of the 68 will play against each other in a pair of First Four games, with winners advancing to play #1 seeds. The last four at-large teams will play in the other two First Four games, with the winners moving on to face the seed they would otherwise be matched up against, as determined by their seed number.
The following are the sites selected to host each round of the 2011 tournament:[3][4]
- First Four
- March 15 and 16
- Second and third rounds
- March 17 and 19
- March 18 and 20
- Regional sites
- March 24 and 26
- West Regional: Honda Center, Anaheim, California (Host: Big West Conference)
- Southeast Regional: New Orleans Arena, New Orleans, Louisiana (Host: Tulane University)
- March 25 and 27
- Southwest Regional: Alamodome, San Antonio, Texas (Host: University of Texas at San Antonio)
- East Regional: Prudential Center, Newark, New Jersey (Host: Seton Hall University)
Each regional winner will advance to the Final Four, held April 2 and 4 in Houston at Reliant Stadium, co-hosted by Rice University and the University of Houston.

On April 22, 2010, it was announced that the NCAA had reached a new 14-year, US $10.8 billion deal with CBS Sports and TimeWarner-owned Turner Sports (by way of TBS, TNT and truTV) for the rights to broadcast the NCAA Tournament from 2011–2024, marking the first time every game in the tournament would be telecast on a national basis.
CBS and Turner will pool their resources for the tournament, with members of the NBA on TNT crew joining CBS' established March Madness broadcasters. Coverage will originate from the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City and Turner's Atlanta studios.[5]

CBS receives the same number of "windows," or time slots, for its tournament coverage as in previous years. However, all games will now be nationally - rather than regionally - televised. It is expected that both games from a particular section and site will be shown back-to-back on the same network each day, except for the second session on March 20, which presumably will be split between CBS and TruTV so that CBS can show 60 Minutes at its regular time, or as close to it as possible. CBS also keeps coverage of the Division II final, which is part of the larger contract for this tourney.
Turner Sports will air full-length studio shows before and after each session of play. The pregame show will be called Infiniti NCAA Tip-Off and all shows will be on TruTV. The postgame show, called Inside March Madness presented by Buick, will alternate between TruTV and TBS.[7]
TruTV has also added coverage of the Reese's College All-Star Game.
Number of games per network
- CBS: 26
- TBS: 16
- TruTV: 13
- TNT: 12
Radio
Westwood One will have live broadcasts of all 67 games. They will be available both on terrestrial and satellite radio outlets, on NCAA.com, and on CBSSports.com. The radio contract was extended in January 2011 for multiple tourneys.[8]
First Four
- Dave Ryan and Alaa Abdelnaby – at Dayton, OH
Second and Third Round
- Wayne Larrivee and John Thompson – Second and Third Round at Chicago, IL
- Kevin Kugler and Pete Gillen – Second and Third Round at Cleveland, OH
- Dave Sims and Bill Frieder – Second and Third Round at Tucson, AZ
- Ted Robinson and TBA – Second and Third Round at Denver, CO
- Scott Graham and Kevin Grevey – Second and Third Round at Washington, D.C
- Brad Sham and Reid Gettys – Second and Third Round at Tulsa, OK
- Kevin Calabro and Will Perdue – Second and Third Round at Charlotte, NC
- Gary Cohen and Kyle Macy – Second and Third Round at Tampa, FL
Internet/other video
All games are expected to be streamed at NCAA.com or CBSSports.com, as in the past. However, with the CBS-Turner agreement allowing all games in the tournament to be available on a national basis (see above), Mega March Madness, a DirecTV-only service, has been discontinued.
International
Kanada: TSN has acquired Canadian rights for the tournament, rights which were previously held by The Score. This is apparently the result of a larger international rights deal between the NCAA and ESPN International (which owns a minority interest in TSN).[9] TSN will produce its own studio coverage, but is expected to take CBS / Turner game coverage, with complimentary broadcasts (when possible) on both TSN and TSN2. (The first round will be streamed online at TSN.ca.) Although CBS coverage is also available to virtually all Canadian cable and satellite subscribers, it is not yet clear whether this means TSN will give priority to TBS/TNT/TruTV matches (when available).
