Going to Louisville.

Im failing to see the issue...

Not much love by the committee for the Horizon League giving the regular season champs a #7 seed.

Going to Louisville.

Would you rather them be shipped farther away from home where they’d have basically zero support? Playing in Louisville as a 7 seed is literally the best case scenario.

You could argue they deserved better than a 7 seed, for sure. But playing in Louisville is a benefit for NKU.

Middle Tenn got the toughest draw.

I agree that it is a benfit for them playing Kentucky and Louisville games they are probably not supposed to win but if they do it would have to be a big boost in recruitment.

Louisville and NKU will be on ESPN Tuesday night at 7:00pm.

NKU received more exposure from the UK game than they could have from any other match-up. This is more of the same. As mentioned, they were kept close to home both times and will have good support. The NIT always pairs regional match-ups early on and the NCAA is doing more and more of it. What do you really expect?
