Regional names

edit

Why exactly does this article use the "East", "South", etc. names? The NCAA used only the city names to refer to regionals during this period. IMO the article should be changed to use the official names of the regionals; injecting one's own preferred names for the regionals isn't really encyclopedic. - PhilipR (talk) 06:45, 28 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Tournament summaries

edit

These summaries should probably be cleaned up to be more encyclopedic and less daring in seeking to provide interpretation or to simulate sportswriting. E.g., "In one of the most thrilling NCAA basketball games ever, Illinois pulled off an improbable comeback to break the hearts of Wildcats fans everywhere." That's not really written to emphasize the factual. I realize this change in tone can lead to unbearably dry articles that recite fact after fact without the author's interpretation, but hopefully there's still a way to write the facts that isn't too dull. - PhilipR (talk) 06:53, 28 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
