Indiana and Arizona Schedule 3 Games
"He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?

I assume that pisses off Dayton fans. So I like it.

A little bit surprising because many times brothers don't want to compete against each other. Guess these two don't have any problem with it, and it certainly will generate some real interest and pub for both schools.

When coaches say "I hate playing them because we're friends/brother", I call BS.
And if Sean can schedule games against his brother, he can schedule games against Xavier, who he constantly raves about. I'd take a 2 for 1.

Maybe he doesn't want a repeat...
...he went up late, and I was already up there.

I'm not sure if it's explicitly mentioned in the rules, but I think the committee generally tries to avoid rematches until the S16. I think playing in the regular season could potentially help avoid a tournament rematch, but I agree that it's probably not a good enough reason alone to arrange a series. I think the bigger reason is that this is a rare case where brothers/mentors/friends have a chance to play a mutually beneficial series. Archie and Sean aren't really in direct competition so playing the series helps both programs and doesnt really have a winner or loser.
