Are we a lock to play in Detroit for the first/2nd (whatever) round of the NCAA?

NigelUno wrote:Not sure in what order they'll announce the teams/sites, but if they send Xavier as a 1 to Pittsburgh, I think they'll send Cincy to Nashville. Assuming both of those (and Purdue) are above us and UM is behind us...then Purdue and MSU go to Detroit.

No worries.

To be honest with you nigel, I’m kinda worried. But this post helps. You’ve been sending me mixed signals nigel.

Since I'll be Golfing in Tennessee, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next week, I 'don't care where we play, cause I'm selfish.  I'll be off the course no matter where we play while we're playing.  My kid will be there, funny how the team wants Detroit, and the ancillary parts want Atlanta or Nashville.  Talk about selfish.

Joe Lunardi of ESPN says MSU would get Detroit over U-M but Xavier/Cincy/Purdue the front runners for LCA. Calls the 3 sites in Detroit/Pittsburgh/Nashville "a mess" with amount of teams jockeying for spots there.

Thanks goose. Anything on Twitter that you find please put here as i want to go to these games badly.

ESPN - in between ACC games - say top 8 seeds are set. Possible movement within those, but MSU isn't in there.

Wins don't matter. Just bad losses.

Not him the NCAA

I've changed my answer to "no fucking chance we get to play in Detroit."

I've changed my answer to who cares, reveal the brackets already.

Heard Graham Couch yesterday on Ebling's show. He said he prefers MSU not in Detroit, as there will be too many distractions.

I think that's insane and probably him just trying to put a positive spin on them getting sent to Nashville.

Honestly Bob I don't think it matters either way. Team should get out of the first weekend if they're in Anchorage. If we're talking Regional...yeah.

Wbh stop being so aggresive. I’d like to see them in Detroit, so i care.

I know it's important to the fans I'm just not sure why the local media is acting like it's the end all be all. I guess because they're lazy and don't want to travel but fuck em. Just don't think it matters that much as far as the team is concerned. He'll I'd probably go too if it were here but I'm sick of it.

people get kind of selfish - it's understandable. But, heck, just beat the teams you have to play.

Stupid take. Don't bother reading it OTPT.

I guess I have to agree, no one knows stupid as well as Nigel.

You're kind of teeing that one up for me...

While I’ll stay out of the insults, I’d have to agree that it was a poor take. Wojo says we have the better body of work and then goes onto say if it has to be one team it should be UofM. Sports writers are fucking chumps.

With that being said, thanks for posting goose. I’ll be reading this shit over the next two days and probably overreacting when we don’t get picked for Detroit.

Go SMU today.

Might as well root for Auburn and Tennessee to lose, so we don't end up in Boise.

And...SMU's best player is (most likely) not playing.

Honestly Nigel I’m super selfish and only care about Detroit. As bob or wbh said, just win. But noted.

That’s too bad about SMU. When it rains it pours.

Would you go to Nashville, Nigel? I have a feeling my friends would not be up to drive 16 hours for a 2nd round game the day after st patty’s day. Did that for the Louisville elite 8 game but that was a tad different in college, and we had seats in like the 2nd row behind pitino.

Dude. I just found the Holy Grail.

IF their mileages and seeding are correct, Xavier and Cincy go to Nashville, Purdue and MSU go to Detroit.

So we are the best 3 seed in this case.

In regards to your IF - I wouldn't count on it. It lists Michigan as being "0" from Detroit.

My guess is b/c the difference w/ X and Cincy is negligible, $$ will win out and they send MSU or UM or both to tD.

You are kind of wishy washy. Make up your mind.

Not really Nigel. My official position is a don't give a fuck. That doesn't mean I'm not allowed to take two seconds to post an opinion on a message board.

God I hope Cincinnati is in our bracket. They would struggle to be .500 in the big ten.
