2004 NCAA Mens D1 Championship Tournament

The 2003-04 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament involved 65 schools playing in single-elimination play to determine the national champion of men's NCAA Division I college basketball. It began on March 16, 2004, and ended with the championship game on April 5 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. Connecticut, coached by Jim Calhoun, won the national title with an 82–73 victory in the final game over Georgia Tech, coached by Paul Hewitt. This was the first year in which the regional sites were referred to by the cities in which the games were held in instead of the "East", "Midwest", "South", and "West" designations. Regionals were the East Rutherford Regional held at East Rutherford, New Jersey at the Continental Airlines Arena and the St. Louis Regional held at St. Louis, Missouri held in the Edward Jones Dome. The other regionals were the Atlanta Regional at Atlanta, Georgia played in the Georgia Dome and the Phoenix Regional held in Phoenix, Arizona at the America West Arena. The final four games were held in San Antonio, Texas at the Alamodome.
