NEW YORK -- The NCAA is more concerned about making sure its first 68-team basketball tournament goes off without a hitch than any further expansion.

That's not to say there won't be more teams joining the fray eventually.

The NCAA announced last April that it would add three teams to the field this season, the first expansion since the tournament went from 64 teams to 65 in 2001. The 68-team model was chosen over 96 teams, a plan that received support from many coaches and administrators.

NCAA vice president Greg Shaheen told The Associated Press on Tuesday that there has been no more discussion about expansion, but conceded that "it's always on the list of topics."
