Just watched Iowa-Dayton NIT game

[DoggieStyle]

Even though Iowa was a lower seed (7), they played the game @ Iowa since Dayton's court was busy with the play in games. What a difference playing at home makes. Iowa was on fire the entire second half, feeding off the home crowd energy and won the game going away.

Which leads me to UK an hour away from campus. Anybody that is going to be able to beat them in front of a defeaning home crowd is going to need tons of poise and some clutch shot making. Does either ISU or UConn have it in them?????

no. both teams are just going to roll over and let the vastly superior kentucky team win.

UK will have a home crowd no matter where they play their NCAA Tournament games. Their fan base is ridiculous, and it wouldnt matter if they were 50 miles or 1000 miles from campus. They probably had 40k fans at the final four last year. Even with that advantage, they still havent won since 1998.
