PORTLAND -- The NCAA men's basketball tournament will return to Oregon in 2012.
The NCAA announced Monday that first- and second-round games will be played at the Rose Garden.
Oregon went more than a quarter-century with no tournament games until the Rose Garden played host to early round action this past season.
Sellout crowds greeted the eight teams who visited the city.
