That makes perfect sense for the Purdue Regional. Penn State, Minnesota, and Florida State coming to Purdue,,,hosted by Purdue,,who will be there. Alot like last year in Minnesota,,,where Minnesota and Florida State were there,,,along with Purdue and Iowa State. Penn State, Minnesota, Florida State and Purdue would be a great regional. I think Purdue will go to either Dayton or Louisville and win,,,then come back and battle 3 very good to great teams. You heard it here.

For those of you interested in bubble teams:
There are a few matches tonight with major implications.
If Baylor loses at SMU -- the Bears are OUT, if they win - They are on the edge of the bubble as last four in, or first four out. (edit: Baylor plays SMU at 2pm est Saturday Morning)
If Creighton loses to Illinois State (match being played right now) then a bubble will burst and Creighton will take an at-large.
If Wichita State loses to Northern Iowa, I think the Shockers are OUT. They will have 3 losses to Northern Iowa and a shaky resume. If Northern Iowa loses to Wichita State, then the bubble picture becomes even more unclear.
If Missouri loses to Alabama, they are OUT. Right now, I still have them out even with a victory

Florida's men's basketball team hosts Marquette on Thursday night in the O'Dome. They have two different surfaces for BB and VB. Will they be allowed to host if they can't allow the other 3 teams to get practice time on the match surface?
It looks like Oregon's Men's BB team is home Thursday night and Saturday at 3:30. Is that going to prevent Oregon from hosting or can they transition easy enough to play both events there next weekend?
Same at Louisville. They have a 1pm home basketball game on Saturday, so will they play their regional final later that night, do they play it in Cardinal Arena or are they just off the board as a host?
And Hawaii has a women's BB game at 2pm on Saturday. Same question.
There are 3 pairs of neighbors on the east coast where the NCAA could save a bunch of money if they shipped in a seed, and that would also let them put someone like Dayton at Penn St.
-Fairfield/Yale
-Long Island/Hofstra
-Binghamton/Colgate
No way they send 3 teams east, but 1 might solve some problems.

How does this help Baylor? |

How does this help Baylor? It's pretty simple. They scheduled with the expectation of winning conference, get a bid and instead of sitting almost 2 weeks playing Baylor to prepare for tourney. Missouri lost and is likely out. |

What helps Baylor is the the first criteria of record that the chair of the committee cited. This would be their 21st and when compared to schools like Arizona and Northwestrn both with 16 wins, they are a more attractive candidate.

But the Sweet 16 matchup between the other 2 teams not in the Penn State match would be good! |

If Northern Iowa loses to Wichita State, then the bubble picture becomes even more unclear. We'll never know, but I think WSU was solidly in regardless, and I think they were 50/50 to get in even if they had lost to MSU. Compare the team sheets of bubble teams. WSU has a poor Pablo and that's about it when compared to others on the bubble. 13 wins away from home. They were in. But without question they're in now. |

No way Dayton hosts. Sheffield may have an "in" with the committee, but nothing on their résumé says top 16. Either Ohio State or Purdue (or both) host. The Big Ten and PAC 12 have clearly been best two leagues. I see 10 teams from these two conferences hosting Sub-regionals.

As usual, the MVC gets three - Creighton, Wichita State & Northern Iowa. Right?
