ɬ�﷬��������ַ

The 2011 ɬ�﷬��������ַ tournament was the first to have 68 teams, as the First Four round saw eight teams play in Dayton. These four winners then finished out the 64-team bracket.

UConn beat Butler for the national title — the Huskies' third championship. It was also Butler's second consecutive runner-up finish. VCU, which played in the First Four, and Kentucky rounded out the Final Four in Houston. This was the first Final Four without a top seed since 2006 (No. 3 seed UConn, No. 4 Kentucky, No. 8 Butler and No. 11 VCU).
