Yes GT is the lower seed and should be playing at Indiana but their basketball court/building is undergoing construction work and can't house the game so the second choice is at Tech.



EDIT: missed that you were replying to a specific post. Whoops.

Yep hit the trigger early, sorry

I think CJP is spending some of that 15k....

Yea that's neat.

I know it's a school night, but something tells me that prospect Jordan Tucker will be there. Isn't he mainly considering Indiana and GT?

No construction at IU's arena. Admin and/or Head Coach didn't want to host the game at home

Home game in ATL due to IU admin not wanting to host at home..... Not due to arena renevations erroneous reported by ESPN.

I guess they didn't want to play in a mostly empty arena.

In other words, Crean will be coaching his last game with IU Tuesday night.

According to Ken, "ESPNU, which broadcast the selection show, said that it was due to a renovation project of Assembly Hall. A tweet from Indiana beat writer Mike Miller of the Herald Times of Bloomington (Ind.) reported that the school passed because students will be on spring break." Regardless, it's definitely Tech's gain.

He can always skip school the next day

My mom's alma mater is Indiana and they're among the most intense basketball fans around. I mentioned the matchup to her today and she's like, "I'm so sick of Crean ruining this program. I'm cheering for Tech." The fanbase has given up on the coach and want him run out. Their roster is loaded and did so little, but we should respect the talent regardless.

Regardless, that's a win for Tech. Now all they have to do is beat them on the court too.

They may cut in to a couple of other games coming in and out of timeouts but that is about it. If that bothers you then watch it on WatchESPN.

i figured as much as that is what i planned. tanks for the tip.

and THATS how you market a basketball program.

i wish they would have shown the student drawing winners on his coach's show. matter of fact why not include students as part of the various segments. EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE FAMOUS THESE DAYS.

This is very cool but don't students get to attend for free? Or is post season not covered with free tickets?
