Dana is a Michigan alum so that’s good. Playing in a gym we’ve played in before can’t hurt. Reggie is a terrible announcer so that’s not ideal. But anyone who isn’t Bardo will be a welcome change.
Have all of the other game times been posted anywhere yet?
I had the wrong broadcast crew there,s orry.
We have Ian Eagle, Jim Spanarkel and Jamie Erdahl.
It’s wrong to look past any team in the tourney, but LSU is glaring as a major hurdle to move on. I like any 2 seed bracket opponent over Michigan’s 1 seed.
Does anyone else think it’s a bit unfair for Purdue to play in Lucas Oil after already adjusting to the shooting background, odd layout, etc. at the Big Ten tourney already? Maybe I’m overthinking things I just figured they wouldn’t be placing Big Ten teams there until the second weekend.
It is interesting as I believe @tony was of the mind that the committee would avoid doing that. I guess in the grand scheme they only played the one game and there will be a week between their games there, so I’m not sure it’s going to be much of an advantage.
And they’ll only play first round there, second round will be in a new location
Yeah, I thought that they’d try a little harder to keep Big Ten teams out of Mackey, Assembly Hall, and Lucas Oil Stadium, but if I recall correctly I believe the guidelines are that unless a team has played more than 3 games in a venue during the regular season or conference tournament, they can still play at that venue in the NCAA tournament. So Michigan can play a couple of games at Mackey and Assembly Hall under these guidelines. But honestly, I bet they’ve just thrown these out the window this year – especially with the B1G tourney taking place in Indy, sounds like the NCAA doesn’t really care.
