It began on March 17, 1994, and ended with the championship game on April 4 in Charlotte, North Carolina, played at Charlotte Coliseum. A total of 63 games were played. The Final Four consisted of Arkansas, making their fifth trip and first since 1990, Arizona, making their second ever trip and first since 1988, Florida, making their first ever trip, and Duke, making their sixth trip in the last seven tournaments. In the national championship game, Arkansas defeated Duke by a score of 76 -- 72 and won their first ever national championship. Corliss Williamson of Arkansas was named the tournament 's Most Outstanding Player. Bill Clinton, former governor of Arkansas, was in attendance for the Final Four, as well as the regionals that were held in Dallas the previous week. ( Clinton was already scheduled to be in Dallas for the wedding of his brother Roger and added the basketball games to his plans. ) Contents 1 Locations 1.1 First & Second Rounds 1.2 Regional Sites and Final Four 2 Teams 3 Bracket 3.1 East Regional -- Miami 3.2 Southeast Regional -- Knoxville, Tennessee 3.3 Midwest Regional -- Dallas 3.4 West Regional -- Los Angeles 3.4. 1 West Region First Round 3.4. 2 West Region Second Round 3.5 Final Four @ Charlotte, North Carolina 4 Broadcast information 4.1 CBS announcers 4.2 CBS Radio Sports announcers 4.3 Local announcers 5 See also Locations Uniondale Landover Lexington St. Petersburg Oklahoma City Wichita Ogden Sacramento 1994 first and second rounds Los Angeles Dallas Knoxville Miami Charlotte 1994 Regionals ( blue ) and Final Four ( red ) First & Second Rounds Region Site Venue East Landover, Maryland USAir Arena Uniondale, New York Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Midwest Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Myriad Convention Center Wichita, Kansas Kansas Coliseum Southeast Lexington, Kentucky Rupp Arena St. Petersburg, Florida Thunderdome West Ogden, Utah Dee Events Center Sacramento, California ARCO Arena Regional sites and Final Four Region Site Venue East Miami, Florida Miami Arena Midwest Dallas, Texas Reunion Arena Southeast Knoxville, Tennessee Thompson -- Boling Arena West Los Angeles, California Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena Final Four Charlotte, North Carolina Charlotte Coliseum The 1994 tournament included five new venues and four new cities. In Florida, Miami and St. Petersburg, were used for the first time. St. Petersburg would go on to host the Final Four in 1999, while this would be the only games held at Miami Arena ; in 2009, the only other year that the city has hosted the tournament, the games were played at American Airlines Arena. Landover, an eastern suburb of Washington, D.C., was used for the only time ; games in Washington D.C. have since been at Capital One Arena, which replaced USAir Arena as home to the city 's sports teams. Sacramento became the sixth metropolitan area in California to host games. The Kansas Coliseum was used instead of Levitt Arena in Wichita for the only time. This also marked the last tournament for the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena and the Dee Events Center. Games in the Los Angeles area have since been held at the Staples Center or the Honda Center in Anaheim. In all, of the thirteen venues used in the 1994 tournament, seven ( in Charlotte, Dallas, Landover, Los Angeles, Miami, Sacramento and Wichita ) have closed and been replaced, with all but the Kansas Coliseum ( which is being converted into an aerospace test facility ) and Sacramento 's Sleep Train Arena being demolished, its future still not determined since the opening of the Golden 1 Center downtown. Additionally, the Nassau Coliseum has been renovated into a smaller - capacity building, placing its future use as a tournament site in doubt. In 1994 Charlotte became the 24th city, and the Charlotte Coliseum the 29th venue, to host the Final Four. It is the last of four arenas - including Market Square Arena in 1980, Reunion Arena in 1986, and McNichols Sports Arena in 1990 - whose primary tenant was a NBA franchise. ( The Charlotte 49ers had also used the building from its opening to the previous season, but had moved back to reopened Independence Arena, which is seven miles closer to campus than the new Coliseum. ) The tournament was the only one between 1985 and 2018 to not include an NFL stadium ; the only domed stadium used for the tournament, the Thunderdome, was at the time an NHL arena and is now an MLB stadium. Amusingly, the site of the Southeast regional finals -- Knoxville, TN -- is farther north than any other of this year 's regional sites.
