UConn - Mich St.

[CyclOwnd]

They plan these sites years in advance. They can't keep any team within 200 miles of the regional site out of the region. If the game had been played in KC or Minneapolis Friday night, you would have been all for it

A 3 seed is much more deserving of that opportunity than a 7 seed.

This was Villanova's "home court." They blew it, so UConn benefits. It sucks, but it isn't like the committee set up UConn for this (mostly).

Some of our fans are conspiracy theorists who love to whine about anything. Just let them run with it ha ha

Ok well for now on the NCAA shouldn't plan their regional sites until the first rounds are over, would that make you happy? Sounds logical, right? Jesus can we stick to the game

No conspiracies here. It's just unfortunate. Sorry I'll go **** some more rainbows outside.

Nova would have had a huge crowd as well.

I see that one of the 1/2 round sites next year is Omaha. I won't be complaining if we get that one.

MSU hanging in there, I thought they were done after UCONN's big run

 

[Mumbai1986]

When the brackets first came out, a lot of people thought UCONN would not even survive their first round game. Hats off to them for winning games and taking advantage of the situation.

UCONN, keep it in Napier's hands.

Oh for sure - but that's the point. They should prioritize seeding the higher seeds closer to home, and put the lower seeds in random regions. I understand why they do it this way, as it increases the income of the event with more tickets sold, but just think the fact that they get to play at home negates the purpose of seeding. No tin foil hat here...it's just a shame that we couldn't play closer to home and not in the lower seed's backyard.

This. A 3 seed and our closest game was what? Texas? 15 hour drive from Ames. And we get to face a 7 seed that is basically playing in Cedar Rapids if the role was switched.

 

[Mumbai1986]

Wow, what a **** by Appling.

 

[tim_redd]

Of course he misses that one today...

 

[Mumbai1986]

Napier! God Damn!

 

[Cyclonesince78]

That dude is clutch

 

[Cyclonesince78]

Looked like it went off Uconn

 

[CycloneErik]

Pretty plainly Sparty ball.

 

[Mumbai1986]

The camera above the shot clock kinda looks like an automatic sniper. Creepy.

 

[Cyclonesince78]

Thanks for showing Mateen Cleaves, just adds fuel to me wanting UConn to win.

 

[Mumbai1986]

Use of arm by Payne. Should have been offensive foul.
