March 17, 200818 yr Georgia is a higher in seeding than KY and they get to play in the eastern part of the nation while KY goes out west, why is this?Georgia is a 14 seed ... Kentucky is an 11 seed.
March 17, 200818 yr Georgia is a 14 seed ... Kentucky is an 11 seed. I think he meant higher in number, which would actually be a lower seed.
March 17, 200818 yr I think he meant higher in number, which would actually be a lower seed.Probably so, but it isn't like Georgia is getting off easier than Kentucky ... who would they rather play, Marquette or a #3 seed?
March 17, 200818 yr So if they moved Duke's Elite 8 game location to San Diego or another location in California with an extremely high UCLA Alumni population you don't mind? Do I mind? Yes. Would I think it was wrong? Not at all....if you are the one, you should get all the perks in that bracket, IMO.

March 17, 200818 yr It is unfair but these rounds are for the ACC = Duke and UNC...most of the other first round and second round games move not one tourny that I have seen that these games have not been played at this location. There have been plenty, and there's another in 2010. Here's what you need to think about. There are a few arenas that can host sites. Here in KY you would have two, being Rupp and Freedom Hall. UK can't play at Rupp, Louisville did last year. In North Carolina there are four, how many other states can claim that? Raleigh, Charlotte, Winston-Salem, and Greensboro. And since none are Duke or UNC's home courts, they can play there. You guys really should get off of the soap box with this. UNC is #1, and they deserve to play as close to home as possible.
March 17, 200818 yr No it's not fair but this crap happens every year it seems. You really just don't understand the process then.

March 17, 200818 yr ^ Apparently it's not even as close to out of whack as some of you would like to think it is.
March 17, 200818 yr North Carolina has five sites that have hosted the first/second round 15 times in that time span. California has five sites that have hosted just nine times Ohio has four sites that have hosted 11 times New York and Florida has four sites that have hosted nine times Tennessee and Arizona have three sites that have hosted nine times Utah has two sites that have hosted 11 times.
March 17, 200818 yr 1987 was the first year teams weren't allowed to play on their home floor -- the so-called "LSU Rule"
March 17, 200818 yr That North Carolina gets to play the first two rounds in Raleigh, and the next two rounds in Charlotte? I don't mind giving them the opportunity to play the first two rounds at Raleigh, but Jesus.... this is like saying they can play at home until the Final 4! Had Duke won the ACC they would have moved up to a 1 seed and probably had the same gift. To put it in perspective, imagine if some of the better Kentucky teams could have played the first two rounds at Louisville and the next two at Cincinnatti. It seems to be this way every NCAA tourney.
