If we get F’d they will put us in Witchita, because who the heck wants to hang out there?

Shocker fans of course

I think we will either be a 3 seed in Milwaukee or a 4 in Denver.

I’d say if we are a 3 we’d probably have a 2 seed in the bracket from the SEC… Alabama or Tennessee.

With all this talk about seeding and location...at this point I'm just hoping for a good TV time.

I don't mind Thurs-Sat - Saturday second round games are fun, and watching the rest of the first round on Friday if you've already won on Thursday is fantastic.

But if we do get Thursday I strongly prefer an evening/night tipoff.

If ISU is out west, then you have to think they would be the last game in each of the viewing windows.

I'm currently watching the Ivy League championship and I'm going to go ahead and say that Yale is another 13/14 seed I do not want to see us matched up against.

Not how it works at all.

TV sets them, local time be damned. SLC started at 10:15 AM local time a couple years ago.

It seems like we have to have variations of this conversation every year - generally what happens in the first and second rounds is independent of what happens in the regional rounds - and the NCAA dictates the schedule based on the particular locality, not the region. Which means, for example, say ISU is placed in the West region but first two rounds in Cleveland - they're not going to start us at 10:30 p.m. EDT because "it's a West region game"... hell - NO games are going to start at 10:30 p.m. EDT in Cleveland - that's asinine.

I honestly have no idea why people throw their common sense out the window when it comes to the NCAA Tournament - they've been doing it this way for like 20 years now, and it's honestly not that hard to figure out if you just simply pay attention to what's actually going on.
