    It's the prize for being a good team. The site is "neutral" but clearly it's advantageous to the lower seeds...most of the time.

    OU is officially in, that makes six teams from the Big XII.

    Mich. is in, does this mean that Penn State is out?

    Wisconsin and AU in instead of St. Mary's and Penn State? What a fucking joke.

    I forgot about San Diego State, I can't believe that didn't make it either.

    Now I have to find a way to get in the RG for the U-dub game. That is awesome!

    If you are a top 4 seed in a region, you will be placed as near home as possible based on the seed. I'm surprised that Gonzaga is coming to Portland instead of being placed in Boise. Seems like a gift from the NCAA to Portland there.

    Great draw for Portland State. A #13 seed and they get to play in Boise against a Xavier team with literally no national following. Should be a heavily pro-PSU crowd.

    What a great day for Portland State. A #13 seed! Who woulda thunk it?

    I am pissed the Ducks didn't make it. Of all years to suck when you have a chance to play in Portland. They blew it big time.

    Oregon is the host team for the Portland sub-regional. They wouldn't have been allowed to play in Portland even if they were a top 4 regional seed.

    At least now Seattle-area UW/Sonic fans will get the chance to see what a real NBA arena looks like.

    I'm thinking about looking for tickets as well. When do they set the times for the games and start selling tickets?

    They normally go on sale the day after the selection show, but I think you have to get them though the colleges.
