    Apparently that's what UC thought.

    So basically, thanks to UC for allowing us the opportunity for an NCAA home game. This is gold.

    I believe Columbus is hosting opening rounds in 2019. No reason to not see both!

    Correct - that's at Nationwide Arena with Ohio State hosting. They've hosted about once every 5-6 years since that arena opened up. Cleveland also got 1st-2nd round games for a year, but Dayton didn't get anything beyond opening round games. That may or may not go well with their fanbase.

    I've always thought of the First Four as a punishment and sending them to Dayton every year has reassured me that the NCAA thinks it's a punishment too.

    I forget the year, but Buffalo is also going to be an early round host. Is it too early to predict that Villanova will be a high seed and lose in the 2nd round that year?

    Who knows where our program is at 2022, I mean hell with the way we've been recruiting we could realistically be a top 4 seed above Kentucky and Louisville.. how sweet would it be if Xavier got an NCAA Tournament game in Cincinnati??? I could only imagine the shenanigans present at that game...

    Maybe a kick back from the city? The City Of Cincinnati is the one to benefit...hotels, food and entertainment, stores, gas stations, etc. plus exposure.
