We talk about the home court advantage but the women's pod system is really fucked up.

#6 seed Arizona State is playing #11 seed Georgia at the Gwinnett Arena in Duluth, GA. That's 45 minutes or so from Athens but it's considerably closer than playing in Atlanta would be. I know the thought is to help attendance but they're playing in a nearly empty building, as UGA doesn't even draw well at home (unless Tennessee comes to town) and this particular mediocre squad inspired pretty much zero interest. Why on earth anyone thought it was actually a good idea to try to screw over a significantly higher seed like that just amazes me.

And in the second round it gets even worse, as #2 seed Auburn faces a matchup with #7 seed Rutgers in Piscataway.
