Notre Dame question

[BAMJ6]

Assuming they make the tourney, Is there a way they can play in Indy the first 2 rounds without Illinois looming in the 2nd round

Re: Notre Dame question

Since the Pod System is in place they could. Don't matter the region if ND makes it they try to keep most of the teams as close to home as possible during the early rds.

Yes. They send 8 teams to each city. But they would have to be w/another group of 4, outside of Illinois'.

I would hope they wouldn't though. It's unfair for a lower seed to play closer to home than a higher one. What do we think this is? Women's NCAA basketball?

1. Indy and no Illinois is exactly what i want to happen so ND has an easier road to the Sweet 16, but then again maybe ND will be meant to take down the last 2 undefeateds of this year (Assuming Ohio State and the Big 10 tourney doesn't beat Illinois)

2. I guess it's just the way the ball bounces sometimes with lower seeds having home court advantages. (04 Air Force in Denver and 04 Badgers in the Bradley Center)

Re: Notre Dame question

That's "just the way the ball bounces" is not a valid excuse. You play hard to earn a top seeding & then the committee "rewards" you by sending you to Albuquerque to play New Mexico. That's not right.

1. I wonder if you forgot that i put "sometimes" in that same statement you responded to.

2. Hey, if the team is good enough, it shouldn't matter that the lower seed has a homecourt advantage. Pitt and UNC beat the partisan crowds last year. Complain when the pod system actually screws the higher team with a tourney loss at a defacto road game.
