per the STrib:
The committee has decided to make a couple of changes:
Teams from the same conference that faced each other only once (this includes conference tournaments) can now face each other as early as the third round. Teams that played twice cannot face each other until the regional semi-finals. Teams that played three times cannot face each other until the regional championship game. This means that more than two teams from a single conference could end up in a particular region, whereas before only two were allowed unless a conference sent nine or more teams to the Big Dance (which has only happened twice ever, both times being the Big East).
Re-matches for non-conference games will be avoided in the First Four and in the second round if possible.
