Playing Drexel . A good 3 pt shooting team. We just face three pt shooting teams. You feed it to Kofi. They play zone. You put someone in the middle of the key and boom. We just went through a gauntlet the last 10 games and boom.
This is perfect for us 2nd shifter! I was praying for an early session.
You have a lot more faith in the refs than I do.
Did you see the chairman say they put MSU and UCLA in the play in because they thought it would be an exciting way to start the tournament? Then he caught himself and tried to walk it back.

It's a joke they even act like they don't, literally everyone knows that they do. In a vacuum it's not that bad because it makes interesting narratives but we shouldn't be getting Loyola and OSU
I agree. To be honest I don’t think those matchups really mean much to people. Does anyone actually tune in to a game that they otherwise wouldn’t have because of these story lines?

If you haven't seen it, you need to watch it. If you've seen it already, you should watch it again. As we enter the final chapter of Ayo Dosunmu's time in orange and blue, it's a perfect time to remember how his journey began:

Who really care’s about the match ups? Line them up and knock them down!!{
I'm not sure I can survive the last four or your projected matchups.
Hey! Thanks for posting that video. I think my favorite part is his sisters bringing him back down to earth and you can see how much he appreciates it. What a wonderful glimpse into what makes Ayo Ayo. Thanks again.
Thanks for posting this - agree, a must watch

Thanks for replying. And yes, those are the two places. But, I can see game 1 & game 2 at both locations. Any chance we can get to know which stadium and game we would have if we make it there.
Sorry for the annoying questions. I am not sure how these things work. Do people just buy tickets in advance and hope to get the right one?
what happens is people with a lot of money and no rooting interests buy all tickets available as soon as they go on sale and then make a ton of money when actual fans buy them on resale sites once they actually know where their team will be playing. If the NCAA didn't want this to happen they wouldn't start sales before locations/times and opponents were established
I am retired and have same issue lol. I lose track of the date, but my wife says if I don't know the day of the week I have to go back to work so I keep on top of that.

What's the deal with locations? Why are Illinois and Loyola playing at different locations? And then a 3rd location for the 2nd round?
Since all the locations are a fairly short drive from each other, they are intentionally having potential 2nd round matchup teams not play in the same gym in the first round, and then to prevent any familiarity advantage, having those teams play in a 3rd different gym for the second round game.
Looking at Drexel’s roster, Wynter looks to make them go offensively, leading scorer and over 5 APG. He’s only listed at 6’2 so presumably Trent should match up okay with him. They have some shooters. They have nice length on the wings but aren’t particularly big down low and aren’t particularly deep.
If Trent can contain Wynter and we keep up our trend of limiting their 3 point attempts, I think we will be fine. Debating whether to take Friday off or not. So good to be back in the tourney!

Starting "center" is 6'8". Kofi and Giorgi should be established early and often
This is more thought and effort than I would have expected from the NCAA. Still, it is sad for our fans that the NCAA put our game 1 in the Fairgrounds Coliseum - by far the smallest seating venue in the tourney (6800 max in normal times). There are literally a dozen larger high school gyms in Indiana.

Seeing the photo of Trent holding that BTT trophy was the best possible way to begin a Monday morning. So gratifying to see the leadership and tenacity that he has shown, and DMWs perseverance and iron toughness, rewarded with the hardware. These guys, and this team, are so special.
