According to Andy Katz of ESPN, Sioux Falls, SD is a finalist for the 2017-2018 First Four hosting duties.

Since the field expanded, Dayton, OH has been the host site, but according to Katz, Sioux Falls and the Denny Sanford Premier Center are the leading hosts to take it away from Dayton.

The announcement will come sometime in November according to multiple media outlets.
