2021 NCAA Tournament
Re: 2021 NCAA Tournament
Will be so interesting to see if the NCAA waives it's "2 flight" rule to give DU a first-round host site. Normally, the NCAA tries to reduce the # of teams requiring a flight for the first round to 2 or fewer. A Denver site would require 3 teams to fly (greater than 400 mile distance triggers flight).
Re: 2021 NCAA Tournament
Clearly they are willing to waive that rule because Denver is one of the final 6 sites. Air Force and Utah have never been part of the discussion and they announced the 6 sites for mens lacrosse only. I think it comes down to seeding.Wheels wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 7:55 am Will be so interesting to see if the NCAA waives it's "2 flight" rule to give DU a first-round host site.

If Denver wins the Big East Tournament on Sat the West games are probably in Denver.
If Denver loses the Big East Tournament and are not seeded, Denver will not be a site.

that would have any significant flying time,
one out of eighteen,
I believe it’ll just be a numbers game,
not enough western teams in the tournament to
justify flying to Denver for the first round.

Re: 2021 NCAA Tournament
Can the Ivy League crown UPenn as their champion?
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
Re: 2021 NCAA Tournament
Think you have to play a set number of games
Re: 2021 NCAA Tournament
more likely happen if penn does it on their own, "penn claims ivy league crown". nothing's coming out of the league office. def not while student-of-the-year is off the table.
Re: 2021 NCAA Tournament
Penn has yet to play a D-1 school. Brown, on the other hand, is 1-0 vs D-1 competition. Sounds like a champion to me!!!

Re: 2021 NCAA Tournament
Anyone have info on ticket availability for championship games over the Memorial Day weekend at the Rent? I don’t think they are available yet, and can’t see any info on number of fans allowed.

Re: 2021 NCAA Tournament
Where are you getting this info? My understanding is that the first round sites won’t be announced until Selection Sunday. It seems unlikely to me that they would go with one western and three southern venues…Ice1570 wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 2:29 pmDenver has already been selected as one of the four host sites for the first round along with UNC, UVA & MarylandDU-fan wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 10:26 amClearly they are willing to waive that rule because Denver is one of the final 6 sites.

Maybe this is true, but I think people are jumping to conclusions. I have no doubt that Klockner will be a site. But, if Denver loses the Big East tournament, it makes little sense to go to Denver as the lower seeded team vs. Albany. If Denver wins the Big East tournament and is seeded the case is better.Hoosfan77

First round tourney sites...
...appear to be Klockner, UMD, UNC, Denver...
One game at Klockner on 15th one on 16th; unsure which day/time the Wahoos will get.
(Per a source close to the program, FWIW. Have not seen an official NCAA release. Seems legit.)
Albany works well for Syracuse and Army. If they are seeded, it makes better sense.
Flights from Chicago to Denver for ND are pretty easy. Making the lower seed teams travel makes sense.
I don't believe this will be resolved until late Saturday and it will be announced this Sunday.
Re: 2021 NCAA Tournament
Making 3 teams fly to Denver in a pandemic is absurd.
Re: 2021 NCAA Tournament
It's already been decided: UMd, Denver, UVA, and UNC will host regardless of this weekend's outcomes.DU-fan wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 10:16 amAreaLax wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 5:15 pmSomeone on the Virginia Sabre message board is sited a close sourcedarkhaha wrote: ↑Wed May 05, 2021 3:45 pmWhere are you getting this info?

Weakness of the northern teams probably had something to do with this, with projections showing that their won't be many (if any) teams more than 400 miles north of College Park, having a first round site at Albany or Hofstra becomes less of a priority.

This Sunday, ESPNU will exclusively present the first-ever joint NCAA Division I Men's & Women's Lacrosse Championships Selection Special at 9 p.m. ET.
