March 21, 201610 yr Saw the stat last night that the tarheels are now 33-1 all-time in tourney games played in North Carolina. Got me thinking, "what the hell? How many games has UK or UofL played in the Commonwealth?". My father in law reiterated it today. So my UK paranoia kicked in and I am curious as to how and why they can play so often in the Tar Heel state and our boys can't? I get there are more big cities, and I don't like to do conspiracies. But it seems aweful coincidental.
March 21, 201610 yr Kentucky has played tournament games in Lexington and Louisville. I don't know exactly how many, but the 84 team played the Sweet 16 and regional final at Rupp against Louisville and Illinois. And it was a huge key in them advancing to the Final Four.
March 21, 201610 yr Usually they are a top seed and the NCAA also usually sets up shop in Carolina. Raleigh and Greensboro and Charlotte are always in thex rotation while Louisville is really the only regular in the KY rotation.
March 21, 201610 yr It helps to have numerous venues capable of hosting NCAA tournament games. If Kentucky wants more home games, tell the folks at Western, Eastern, Morehead, etc. to build a 15,000+ seat arena.
March 21, 201610 yr Author I'm not complaining. Like I said it is my Kentucky paranoia. I even stated they have more big cities than Ky. Why can't the boys in Blue and Red play at the Yum center? It's an NBA arena right?
