Assuming the men do make the Big Dance...

Is there a venue we’d prefer? Here are the options:

First two rounds: Hartford, Des Moines, Jacksonville, Salt Lake City, Columbia SC, Columbus OH, Tulsa, San Jose.

Sweet 16 and Elite 8: Anaheim, Louisville, DC, Kansas City

So there’s not exactly anywhere close to Mississippi. Don’t have a Birmingham, Memphis, Nashville, NOLA, or even Little Rock this year.

Honestly the best we can hope for is that we don’t get paired with someone that would have a huge homecourt advantage. For example, Duke or UNC in Columbia, Kansas in Tulsa, Florida State in Jacksonville, etc.

I hope for Brandon Walker's sake, we don't have to travel to Iowa. **

We will be in the Duke Regional in Columbia because we are MSU

Never mind, I was mistaken.

I’m selfishly hoping for Des Moines or Tulsa, with the 2nd weekend in Kansas City since those are the closest to me.

 

[Bulldogg31]

I’d like Columbia SC because we know that court and we have a bunch of fans over this way, even Atlanta is an easy drive.

I've thought about this really since the season began of how we would matchup with them because I just get this feeling we're going to end up playing them. The best I could come up with was:

Tre Jones- Peters
RJ Barrett- Nick
Cam Reddish- Q
Zion-Woodard
Marques Bolden-Perry

We would have to play out of our minds, but I think that's the lineup that gives you the best chance to be in game with 5 minutes to go. Which is all you can ask for when playing Duke.

As of Feb. 14, Joe Lunardi has us as a 7 seed in Jacksonville playing St. John's. If we were to win that game, we'd face the 2 seed North Carolina...

Winnable opening rounds. I’ll take it.

 

[NWADawg]

Selfishly, I want Tulsa. It's about an hour and a half from me. That would be great.

 

[theeleven]

Would love Columbia then DC. Hope we are in for an exciting March.

 

[Palmettodog]

Not that I want Duke but Columbia would be nice.

 

[KentuckyDawg13]

Sweet 16 in Louisville would be choice. Seems Jacksonville or Columbia SC would be the best for fan support which is a funny term these days.

Get ready for Eli Wright going full RAT**

As of Feb. 14, Joe Lunardi has us as a 7 seed in Jacksonville playing St. John's. If we were to win that game, we'd face the 2 seed North Carolina...

Just kidding, I assume he's sitting this year. If not, I'm probably not kidding

After missing the tournament for as long as we have, i wouldnt care if we had to play in Coach K’s driveway. Id be happy
