[Ralph Turner]

The NCAA re-shuffles the brackets. The Anchormen will find out their next opponent and site tomorrow.

Uh??

Sure 'nuff!

[Greek Tragedy]

Ummm, that's where I got it from!

Hence the "submitted by...."

[diehardfan]

Maybe the SID just doesn't understand the process? Or maybe he does and didn't communicate it effectively?

[David Collinge]

The NCAA still has the original (well, almost original) bracket up on their website, and it shows RIC playing Keene St.

Please tell me I'm just having another nightmare.

[Greek Tragedy]

Why wouldn't that be the case?  I checked the bracket on this site and it has it that way...why would that be a nightmare?

When did they ever re-shuffle the brackets?

Pat, what's your take??

[diehardfan]

David was just saying that it would be a nightmare if they switched things.... given the number of things they've switched this season... if I'm not mistaken. I really don't think they're changing the brackets.

[Pat Coleman]

When was the last time RIC was in the men's basketball Sweet 16?

I think they have no idea.

[FisherDynasty]

If Fisher hosts for once, there in the final 4!

[Pat Coleman]

Yeah, because hosting overcomes all. History has shown that to be immutable.

[imderekpoe]

Is there a specific time today that the announcement of the Sectional hosts is to be made?

[Greek Tragedy]

Is there a specific time today that the announcement of the Sectional hosts is to be made?

When I get around to it. lol.    I would assume mid-afternoon.  Check the front page occasionally.

LOL! OS, pick Cal Lu for the west, they have a mad sweet gym from what I hear, and they have multiple brand new locker rooms for each of the teams. I'm sure the players would love to have the experience of being in Cali, it's sunny and warm, and it's only a two hour drive from my house.  8)

They are released at 2pm EST... check out the front page for more info around then.

LOL...I know that's right...

[David Collinge]

I guess Fisher is in the Final Four now...

The sectional hosts are Fisher, Stevens Point, Virginia Wesleyan, and for the third consecutive year, Amherst.
