March 15, 200818 yr Then I'll buy everyone a round next time we have a BGP get together. (Not really :lol: I can't afford it. But if I could...I would) :thumb: Its the thought that counts. Especially when we're talking about Duke losing!
March 15, 200818 yr Author ^ We've been over this a hundred times.....The state of North Carolina has like 3 stadiums that can host the tourney. WE have 2. That said, only Rupp has done so. That takes UK out of the picture as you are not allowed to play on your home court. The NCAA has made it known they want teams to play as close to home as possible, UK often goes to Nashville or Indy, so that argument really doesn't work. I don't recall UK being sent to Freedom Hall the few times Louisville decides to host it. I don't remember them going to Cincy either.
March 15, 200818 yr What if Duke loses today? They would only have 5 losses. Three to Top 25 teams. I don't think they will lose though because they haven't played great and it's still tied.
March 15, 200818 yr Both Raliegh and Charlotte are first round sites. I'll bet a check that one or both end up at one or both. Charlotte is a regional this year, I believe.
March 15, 200818 yr I don't recall UK being sent to Freedom Hall the few times Louisville decides to host it. I don't remember them going to Cincy either. I said INdy and Nashville, I don't remember the last time Freedom Hall or UC hosted the tourney. If they have, it was awhile ago, and that was before the location intiative that's in place now.
March 15, 200818 yr Author Charlotte is a regional this year, I believe. You're right. That means Duke or Carolina will be in the East.
March 15, 200818 yr Well, Carolina will likely be the overall #1, so they should get the most comfortable route.
March 15, 200818 yr Author If they lose to Clemson, they will still be the #1 seed in the East and will play closer to home than Memphis, who will be the overall #1 if UNC loses to Clemson.
March 15, 200818 yr THE NCAA doesn't cut breaks, IMO. :laugh::laugh: Says the Duke fan.....:lol::lol::walk::lol:
March 15, 200818 yr I just saw on the NCAA's site...the 5 favorite teams are: 1 - Carolina - (19,692 fans) 2 - Duke - (15,927) 3 - Kansas - (11,239) 4 - Kentucky - (6,760) 5 - Wisconsin - (6,501) Most hated: 1 - Duke (41,695 haters) 2 - Carolina (19,464) 3 - Florida (6,890) 4 - Ohio State (5,286) 5 - Indiana (4,413) Funny.
March 15, 200818 yr If they lose to Clemson, they will still be the #1 seed in the East and will play closer to home than Memphis, who will be the overall #1 if UNC loses to Clemson. Would you rather Memphis play in Raleigh, and ship Carolina out, or have Memphis play closest to their home, Little Rock which is about two hours away?
March 15, 200818 yr Scribe, you'll be happy....in 2010 the closest that Duke or Carolina can be to home is Jacksonville......2009 Memphis has a regional.
March 15, 200818 yr They would only have 5 losses. Three to Top 25 teams. I don't think they will lose though because they haven't played great and it's still tied. Maybe I jinxed them.
