NCAA Dance Thread

[mileskishnish72]

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.

This is a great day!!

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.

This is a great day!!

FRED GARVIN!! FRED GARVIN!! In 1977 and 1978, weren't you a male prostitute every Saturday Night?? (Not that we've ever met or anything). If you could possibly post that pose, you could make my day.

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.

I didn't mean YOUR pose. I meant Akroyd's pose.

Is the Marquette party streaming anywhere?

[MuggsyB]

Tourney sleepers???

Here we go!!

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

[Norm]

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

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

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]

Keeping K in as long as they can

[bananahammock]

Rutgers and ND sneak in.

[MuggsyB]

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

Id rather Kansas than Zona or UK

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

[Uncle Rico]

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

[MuggsyB]

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

[Dish]

The committee does not care about your metrics apparently.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

TCU is gonna smoke the Hall

So tight jeans are back in style?  At least in Chattanooga
