There is only 1 "protected" seed in our session...

And it's not MU.

If Racers and MU both win, it will be definitely be a road game.  I have been in the stadium since 90min before game, and a lot of murray state fans clearly took off work.  Saturday will be twice as rowdy.

I think MU is clearly the better team, and I believe we will win. That being said, you hate to give up 4-5pts when you don't need to.  Anything can happen on the road.

The 1-5 seeds are only "protected" for the second round.  MSU is a potential third-round match-up, so that doesn't fall under the "protected" seed guidelines.

Many are saying that Murray State should have been given a better seed, so maybe this is a bone that the committee threw to them.

We're a 5-seed in a 3-seed's slot. Playing BYU (slotted as a 12 according to the SC's S-Curve) and basically a road game for our second game. And regardless of the protected factor, how often does a 6 play the first weekend in their home state?
