Final. The Norse are headed back to the Big Dance. Congratulations!

That's 3 Horizon League Championships in 4 years of eligibility for the Norse. Quite an accomplishment if you ask me.

I'm wondering if the Norse could squeeze a #15 seed or if they will be a #16.

Just please, for the love of all that is good and pure, don't put them against Kentucky.

I loved that they went against the Cats in their first apperance because of the exposure, especially in the state, that it gave them. I'd prefer they play someone else this year. I'd like to see them as a #15 seed but with the regional nonsense, that makes it more likely they get the Cats. I don't think it would be as similar to the first time.

Saw that it only took NKU 4 seasons to pass Wright State in league championships. Wright State has been in the league since 1994.

Always good to be ahead of Wright State, in anything.

Especially with no Big Blue Nation in the stands! Think they might be in play in game in Dayton, or is that only for teams that were not conference/tournament champions?

I'm honestly don't know how they pick the teams that play in Dayton. Anyone know?

 

And while we are at it, why always Dayton?

The Dayton sub-regional(First 4) has always had outstanding attendance. The NCAA likes the venue and apparently has a good relationship with management of facility. When we hosted DII Elite 8 at NKU the NCAA was very happy.....but we moved to DI after that and lost our hosting for the next season.
