Doubt we’ll see them in a regional. They are right in the thick of the hosting conversation now, and with the new bracketing rules, if they fall short of hosting they’ll likely be sent to the #15 or #16 seed or something. No chance they fall so far they come to UNC, since we’ll be the #3-5 seed most likely.
Yes, can’t be in the same regional as someone in your conference. The methodology they have in place is placing the teams in 4-team pods. For example, take UCLA. As #1 seed they could get any of the teams seeded #29-32 as their 2 seed, to make everything line up correctly with conferences etc. So while they aren’t guaranteed to get literally #32 as their 2 seed, there’s no way they get like #19 overall or something. Whereas historically geography played such a big role you often saw really unbalanced regionals.
It’s actually a well-conceived approach…which is saying a lot for the NCAA.
Could see them as our super matchup.
Regional 2 is looking like someone like Tennessee, UCF, Cincinnati right now
If they can fix the tournament in this way, why haven't they fixed the rule about home vs away? If you are awarded a regional you should be the home team in every game you play.
Clearly the NCAA doesn’t think that’s a rule that needs fixing. It’s a tough one.
The ncaa needs to quit this regional garbage given most good teams are in the south, thus they stick us with a tough team from NC, VA, SC, etc.

As a Supers opponent, I’ll take WVU in a heartbeat. If we can avoid an Saracen team as our #2 in a Regional and get lined up with a non-SEC team for a Super…we’d be very fortunate.
I'd love to get off of that 4/5 line to avoid UCLA and Texas in Omaha. I think we can pitch around UGAs bats similar to what we did with GT.
They mostly have.
Our last 3 4 seeds: Hofstra, Long Island, Holy Cross
Our last 3 2 seeds: Oklahoma, LSU, Georgia
Yeah they like to give us seasoned SEC teams and sleepers like Davidson in our regional. Western teams typically have easier regionals.
