No poll option for this one?

By the time this game starts, almost half the teams will have packed up and left already.

Fixed. Sorry and thanks.

Sucks being the last game on Friday, but The Hall will with by 7. Rhoden and Cale won't allow a loss.

I think Hall blows out the horny frogs.

Unless TCU magically figures out how to hit threes or free throws (though we do have that effect on teams) I think we'll be fine. TCU is a strong defensive team, but I don't know that they can match what UConn's defense did to us last Thursday. The focus against TCU needs to be on rebounding. Win the defensive glass, probably win the game.

Another interesting note: Seton Hall has BY FAR the longest distance to travel for its first round game of anyone in the tournament. It's also more than double the distance anyone else in the Southeast region needs to travel for its first game.

Georgia State (Atlanta) to Portland is almost as far. And USC to Greenville, SC is a few hundred miles less. 2,742 for SHU, 2,596 for Georgia State, 2,327 for USC. The upside is that I believe SHU came out of the West region in 1989??? If so, they played their first round games in either Boise, ID or Tuscon, AZ. So there's precedent...

Bryant and the other team from NJ could end up traveling as far, albeit with a stopover in Dayton.

Still a couple hundred miles difference to the next longest trip. As for the 2 out in Dayton....yes but that's now two trips. The winners aren't retuning home first.

Sucks for the fans, but won’t matter for the team traveling in a charter jet.
