Um, I know perhaps a new thread is not totally necessary, but had a question I didn't want to see get lost in one of the other threads.

I have seen brackets printed with the locations of the early games on them. Is this something that is predetermined or do they pick the sites after they decide the teams, with consideration for travel distance, unfair "home court" advantage, and other factors?

Man, Selection Sunday never gets old, especially when you believe your team will be "in". Even though I'm 67 years old, I'm like a kid on Christmas morning waiting for them to turn over "Marquette" on the Board.

If you think or know your team will be "out", then Selection Sunday sucks.

Fairly early in Clem Haskins' time at Minnesota, they were sure they were gonna get in. They had a big "watching event," with cheerleaders, the dance line, media invited, etc. And then they didn't make the tourney. Haskins was outraged and it was very embarrassing for the university.

But that was before the days where bracketology became a science.

I love today. Have a bet with my wife the number of times Jim Spanarkel says "in terms of" on the CBS broadcast.

Somehow no one answered your question. 😅

The sites are determined a few years in advance. The selection committee will place teams into the sites regarding location etc.

Ie Marquette cannot get the fiserv because they play a majority of their games there. Wisconsin can get it if they get seeded high enough.

Texas Tech will give Duke all kinds of problems in the S16.

NCAA giving Coach K a nice route to the Sweet 16.

Was kinda hoping for the Joey Hauser matchup.

Honestly just way to to avoid a Kansas matchup. McCormack would be a big problem.

Fred Garvin · « **Reply #15 on:** March 13, 2022, 05:09:44 PM »

Keeping K in as long as they can

bananahammock · « **Reply #16 on:** March 13, 2022, 05:09:56 PM »

Rutgers and ND sneak in.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #17 on:** March 13, 2022, 05:10:15 PM »

UCONN playing in Buffalo could be an advantage. Vermont over Ark??

If I’m a Mountain West team, I’d have major concerns as rest of bracket comes out.

Uncle Rico · « **Reply #20 on:** March 13, 2022, 05:11:01 PM »

Think the Quette is out. Not looking good. Only 51 spots left

MuggsyB · « **Reply #21 on:** March 13, 2022, 05:12:27 PM »

Whew.....avoided Zona in the rd of 32.

DegenerateDish · « **Reply #22 on:** March 13, 2022, 05:12:51 PM »

The committee does not care about your metrics apparently.
