March 16, 200917 yr I do have another question. Do all the higher seeded teams always get the home game?
March 16, 200917 yr Are they seeded in 4 regions? I think they get 1-8 in each region. The site says they seed the 4 # 1 seeds first then everything is seeded in the region as to how close they are to the teams they will be playing and the next higher seed.

Well then 4 and 5 meet, so it is possible. Maybe they should play in NKY at the BOKC
March 16, 200917 yr Higher seed gets home game if possible, not always. Thanks was not sure how that worked because this time of year the buildings might not always be in play.
March 16, 200917 yr Well then 4 and 5 meet, so it is possible. Maybe they should play in NKY at the BOKC I could handle that. Nice place I was there for the regional tournaments last week.

March 16, 200917 yr Procedures for Seeding the Teams Each committee member lists the best eight teams from the at-large and automatic qualifier teams (i.e. the NIT field), not ranked in order, from teams that are in the tournament. Committee members rank the top eight vote-getters from Step No. 1, using a cross-country scoring system. The four institutions receiving the fewest points from the cross-country scoring are moved into the seed list in order. The remaining four teams are held for the next cross-country ballot. Each committee member lists the eight best teams remaining from the at-large and automatic qualifier teams (i.e. the NIT field). The top four vote-getters will join the four remaining teams on the next cross-country ballot. Committee members rank the eight teams from Steps No. 4 and No. 5, using a cross-country scoring system. The four teams receiving the fewest points are moved into the seed list in order. Steps No. 4, 5, 6 and 7 are repeated until all the teams are seeded, 1 through 56 (or number designated by the chair), for the seed list. After a team has been voted into the seed list, it may be moved to a different position on the seed list by a vote of all but two of the eligible voters. The committee is not obligated to seed the lines in chronological order. After determination of seeded teams taken in the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship, the seed list will be revised (compressed) and the teams 1-32 will comprise the NIT field
March 16, 200917 yr Procedures for Placing the Teams into the Bracket Place the No. 1 seeds on the board to establish the four regions. Place the No. 8 seeds in each region closest to the No. 1 seeds. Place the No. 2 seeds in each region closest to the No. 1 seeds. Place the No. 7 seeds in each region closest to the No. 2 seeds. Place the No. 3 seeds in each region closest to the No. 2 seeds. Place the No. 6 seeds in each region closest to the No. 3 seeds. Place the No. 4 seeds in each region closest to the No. 1 seeds. Place the No. 5 seeds in each region closest to the No. 4 seeds. Higher-seeded teams will have the first option to host games as they advance, unless extenuating logistical circumstances (i.e., travel, lodging and/or facility availability or NCAA Championship guidelines) preclude such an opportunity. Review the regions to ensure adherence to the principles for seeding.
March 16, 200917 yr UK vs. Davidson, Tuesday night at RUPP I had heard that even a Tues game would not be played at Rupp.
March 16, 200917 yr UK vs. Davidson, Tuesday night at RUPP No way they hold it at Rupp, to close to State Tournament time.
