July 18, 201610 yr And it is a good one. :lol2: :lol2: "The committee decided that the overall No. 1 seed would be provided the opportunity for institutional preference in its geographic assignment to first- and second-round and regional sites. Preferences would be communicated by teams in contention for the overall No. 1 seed far in advance of Selection Sunday in a process to be determined."

July 19, 201610 yr Seems like they usually put the #1 overall seed in the closest location anyway, so doesn't really seem like much will change. That is unless a coach decides to randomly pick the West because they think it'll be easier.
July 19, 201610 yr The opportunity to pick the second round site seems to me like where the most benefit will be. Also, it says picking geographic site. I don't think the coach will know which opponents are in his region. He is just picking where he wants to play.
July 19, 201610 yr Also, it says picking geographic site. I don't think the coach will know which opponents are in his region. He is just picking where he wants to play. If I understand correctly, you are right. They have to choose beforehand.
July 19, 201610 yr Duke and UNC already don't leave the State of NC for their first 2 rounds. So it wouldn't benefit them. It may however prevent the committee from sending UK to a location that's actually farther away like it did a few years ago.

It may however prevent the committee from sending UK to a location that's actually farther away like it did a few years ago. Drew Franklin on KSR just brought up a very interesting idea. Kentucky gets the #1 seed (Louisville isn't an option) and they choose the Asheville/Raleigh, NC location. Essentially ensuring that Duke/UNC has to play out of state in the first round. Interesting thought.
July 19, 201610 yr What if UNC is the overall #1 seed, and The Dean Dome is a regional site? They'll wear white?
July 19, 201610 yr What if UNC is the overall #1 seed, and The Dean Dome is a regional site?They never use the Dean Dome, do they?
July 19, 201610 yr They never use the Dean Dome, do they? Wasn't really my point. My question was if this new rule would supersede the rule that you can't play a tournament game on your home court.
July 19, 201610 yr They never use the Dean Dome, do they? He wanted to use UL and the Yum Center, but he knows that saying Louisville is the #1 seed is an unrealistic hypothetical lol jk.
July 19, 201610 yr I wish they had this in place in 2003 when they sent overall number 1 seed Kentucky to play in the back yards of Wisconsin and Marquette.
