10th matched up against the 3rd in the final game of Day 2. I've always thought that it's tough to advance all the way through having to play the final game every day.

Very tough indeed but the entire tournament is a grind. Never liked the two games on final day either but it works for the fans and schools. Both scenarios benefit the teams with some depth.

 

No chance this will ever be seeded(sp) either, that may be the worst part of it all. Top two should never have to play so early in the rounds but it is what it is.

5th vs 7th in Round 1......that sets up to potentially be a game of #1 vs #2 with Marion and Manual. Don't wanna miss that one!

How tough is that 7th Regional going to be. Manual, Mercy, Lou. Christian, Sacred Heart.

 

Where will that be played?

the 6th and 7th region semifinals and finals will be played at Bellarmine University.
