I forget where but I saw it referred to as the "Early Eight" which feels more satisfying and aligns with the number of teams.

Damn, I never really thought about how the "Four" in "First Four" refers to the number of games whereas in "Final Four" it refers to the number of teams. It's weird, but it makes sense. I like that they gave it an alliteration name like the later rounds.

We just need to name R64 and R32 now. Selected 64...Thankful 32...Thirsty 32...32 Through...
