    True. But in the grand scheme, would it have really be a big deal to flip the 5 & 7, so Mercy could play WVSU and WLU could play Ville? That would at least be more fun for everyone to see.

    (Sorry, EyeoftheHawk--I responded to Ship before I noticed that you said essentially the same thing.)

    For the record I hate the way that the seeding is done in the D2 NCAA tournament. You could literally be playing a conference opponent in the first two rounds in the tournament. Someone you already played twice this year! I don't know if they do this to cut down on travel or what. But do fans really want to see another PSAC conference game in the tournament? This happen to us a couple of years ago when we played VUU for a third time. This doesn't happen in D1.

    By the way, Don't sleep on FSU. This is actually a bad matchup for you all. This will be a good game. Their defense vs your offense. I wouldn't be surprise if this is a close game. If FSU shoots like they did in the tournament, I can see an upset.
    I think it will be a good game, but I don't necessarily see it as an offense vs. defense type of game. IUP plays excellent defense.

    We've actually seen some Round 4's in this region in the past. I agree. I'd have much rather not seen a PSAC vs PSAC and a MEC vs MEC in Round 1 this weekend.

    IUP won't sleep on anybody. Any conference champion is obviously good. I suspect a tight game.

    I'm just excited to see them play somebody new and not a Part 3 or Part 4.

    It's tough to watch all four games on Day 1. I watched 3.5 a couple years ago. The first three are easy. Like Chuck said, the fourth one is a killer.
    Odds are, I'll watch the first 3 and leave. I already know Ville and Hurst. I'll just keep an eye on the scores. I've done 4 games a few times but the last isn't easy.

    The host team plays the 3rd game of the day. It usually tips at 6:00. That 4th game is brutal. Depending on how the third game plays out, you could be looking at tipping off close to 9:00.

    Oddly, IUP has a history of beating the Vulcans in the NCAAs.
    Yep, they do.

    I know. I was trying to be positive lol.

    But ... if you get them on that day Courtney goes nuts .... you never know.

    I'd give them no chance to win the Regional, but ... one game? Maybe.
