| Memphis can't throw it in the ocean.
On another note, why is the "Oakland" regional being played in San Francisco?  |

Oakland is FAR closer to being a part of San Fran than the Nashville/Murfreesboro thing.
On a different note, why is the 1 seed playing hundreds of miles from home while the 2 seed is in their back yard? I thought the advantage was somehow supposed to be to the highest seed?!?!  |

It is 2100 miles from Memphis to SF. Comparitavely speaking, UCLA was in their own back yard. It was in state and there are surely many times more UCLA fans able to get tickets and be there.

| Well that sucks. Nova is the only team left I'd consider pulling for.

| What was the point of putting the school logos on the court? Like in Atlanta, Georgia Tech doesn't play in the Dome...

That raises the question, why isn't Georgia State's logo also on the floor when they play in Atlanta? | |
