Nashville is going to be a hard ticket. Vol fans won't be able to make it as much as we will won't it slanted orange

Not sure about that...I’m not sure any of those early round games except for maybe UK ever sell out. And the other teams likely to be in Nashville (like Michigan State) are teams that you’ve said won’t be a locational advantage.

Nashville is a destination city. Easy airport access that's cheap with southwest. Every team there won't have problem selling their allotments

Just depends on the teams. I’ve been to a number of first and second round games without many in attendance. And some are jam packed.

That’s my thoughts...you have Michigan State and Auburn there and I doubt I would have much trouble showing up and getting a ticket the day of off the street.

And so here you are campaigning for Nashville yet earlier today are questioning why State fans would want Nashville over Dallas? Seems pretty clear no?

Lol.

MSU fans are going to travel anywhere. The only place they would have an advantage with location would be Detroit and maybe Witchitah



Btw am I the only one that can never spell the damn city in Kansas that is hosting next week?

Yes there are a lot of them for sure but keep in mind a lot of people only come to the game thier team is playing in

Right...and most of them sell their tickets to the game not involving their team, making the tickets pretty easy to come by on the street.

Round one I would agree if you are lucky enough to be opposite of the bigger fan bases. Round two would be much harder to come by.

I've been to see Steve Smith and MSU play a 1st round game at TBA, followed up by maybe the best game I've ever seen live, Ga. Tech vs. LSU, the same night. Ga. Tech ended up winning and had Lethal Weapon 3, Kenny Anderson, Dennis Scott and Brian Oliver, they went to the Final 4 that year. LSU had Shaq, Chris Jackson and Stanley Roberts and neither game was a sell out. I also went to the Big Dog (dropped 44 points) and Counzo led Purdue vs. Kansas Sweet 16 game and the Duke vs. the O'Neil led Marquette team, followed by the Elite 8 game between Duke and Purdue. All games at TBA, none sell outs.

I was at the games with Purdue, Kansas, Duke, and Marquette. I clearly remember Grant Hill dunking over Jim McIlvaine of Marquette. I was a teenager. They may not have been sellouts, but I recall sitting in the upper deck. At that time, TBA held about 24k, so they had to get a lot of people for a sellout.

I probably need to say this was the TOP 16 reveal Feb. 10th and I calculated the losses since then.


1. Virginia (23-2) (12-1)
2. Villanova (23-2) (10-2)
3. Xavier (23-3) (11-2)
4. Purdue (23-4) (12-2)

5. Auburn (22-3) (10-2)
6. Kansas (19-6) (8-4)
7. Duke (19-5) (7-4)
8. Cincinnati (22-2) (11-0)

9. Clemson (20-4) (9-3)
10. Texas Tech (21-4) (9-3)
11. Michigan St. (24-3) (12 -2)
12. North Carolina (19-7) (8-5)

13. Tennessee (18-6) (8-4)
14. Ohio St. (22-5) (13-1)
15. Arizona (20-6) (10-3)
16. Oklahoma (16-8) (6-6)

---CURRENTLY w how many losses -------

1. Virginia (-0)*
2. Villanova (-2)
3. Xavier (-1)*
4. Purdue (-2)

5. Auburn (-3)*
6. Kansas (-1)*
7. Duke (-1)
8. Cincinnati (-2)*

9. Clemson (-4)
10. Texas Tech (-4)
11. Michigan St. (-1)*
12. North Carolina (-2)

13. Tennessee (-1)*
14. Ohio St. (-3)
15. Arizona (-1)*
16. Oklahoma (-4)

--- if you were ranking based on the W/L since reveal ... regular season champs get priority but I factored how hard conference was.. and where they previously were -------

1. VIRGINIA
2. XAVIOR
3. KANSAS
4. MICH. ST

5. TENNESEE
6. ARIZONA
7. DUKE
8. VILLANOVA

9. CINCINATTI
10. PURDUE
11. NORTH CAROLINA
12. AUBURN

13.OHIO ST
14. CLEMSON
15. TEXAS TECH
16. OKLAHOMA

Obviously the bottom 8 will probably be different.. but I think the top 8 will stand

I was at the Regional Final that year. Big Dog and Grant Hill. I was a freshman on high school. Went with my dad and had a great time.
