How do you think Florida feels? Earned a number 1 seed just for the committee to give the 2 seed home court advantage. All the rules they have pertaining seeding, I have no clue how thats allowed.

In the first half when they had the Tracy wolfson interview with Dixon during a timeout, she mentioned the foul discrepancy and said what it was. Dixon laughed and said you aren’t supposed to say the numbers, ref just told me I can’t say the numbers and you said them.
Ok that doesn't make it better. They are a 2 seed. They shouldn't have any close to home advantage outside of the first two rounds. This excuse that Rice is the host institution so therefore it's ok is lame.
I want to trade our draw for any of the other 3s so bad.
Houston looking scary
I think the winner of St John’s / Kansas beats Duke.
Would it have been any different if the 2020 tournament had happened and Gonzaga would have been able to play games in Spokane even though they weren't the host institution for the games?
Can't decide which is more cringe: "Michigan men" or "the brotherhood."

Why was it switched? I thought there was an NCAA Illini rule made after the Illinois-Kentucky game that was played at Kentucky?Do you know what happened?
These games have sucked today. Let’s hope Illinois continues the higher seed blowouts.
…not only does Houston have home court, but they will also have an extra day of rest…

Um what? We play today too?
I mean the “favorable/unfavorable location” wording doesn’t even apply. It’s literally TWO MILES from campus. That’s a home game.
Just awful.

I know you’re not allowed to play on your home floor, but seriously how is this any different? Ridiculous
It's not their home arena. It's not too different than if the United Center was a site. We'd still be allowed to play there. But in this case the United Center would be 2 miles from Assembly Hall...
If we end up playing Houston, I know they have the comfortability of staying home, but what do you think the crowd disparity would be?
That’s very different. It’s not even in the same city/town.
maybe this person is considering a travel day?
They always were scary. And they're just not a great matchup for us. To win we need to hit our threes at over a 40% clip and rebound and defend as hard as we can. That said, gotta beat VCU first.

It still just feels the rule was circumvented…
