Seattle to host NCAA basketball tournament games in 2015

The NCAA announced Monday that the state of Washington has had two cities selected to host future ‘March Madness’ basketball tournament games, with Spokane getting a chance to host 2014 second- and third-round contests, and Seattle being awarded 2015 second- and third-round games.

It will be Seattle’s 16th opportunity to host the tournament, but the first since 2004.
