Looking ahead to the NCAAT (from KSR Show this morning)

We will have to play on Friday and Sunday as we are a host site and Lexington site plays on Thursday/Saturday .

This eliminates a lot of places we can start. Looking like Cleveland or Seattle as Raleigh is a slim shot due to Duke and TN.

I don't understand that reasoning. Other sites besides Lexington play on Thursday/Saturday. They could easily ship us to Denver, Wichita, or Providence.

Apparently it's not an official rule, but a courtesy kind of thing. So we could still end up anywhere.

If you’re in the Lexington area, do yourself a favor and go check out some games. Really fun experience to get to watch the tournament live.

Would love to see them out here in Denver.

I think that's why the NCAA doesn't do the sites the same day a host team plays if they can help it.

I've never heard of that. I'm not saying it isn't a thing but KSR is known for being wrong more than being right. I went back to look in 2012, when Louisville hosted, and they played on the same day as UK. So that's at least once that rule didn't apply.

I’d love too, I may get tickets when they are at the YUM Center again.

Yeah, they corrected and said it's not an "offiicial" rule. Sounds like it's more of a courtesy thing if possible.

I don't believe that's a rule. I've never factored that when I do my mock brackets. We just can't play in Lexington obviously lol.
