Geography will not be a factor in brackets.

It will be very interesting..

All 62 teams... in San Antonio? Hmmm

 

[oldude]

I believe there will be 64 teams

 

[ed4ourgirls]

If I read the announcement correctly, the first round games will be played in
Austin and San Marcos as well as San Antonio.

 

[Monte]

A total of 6 courts(5 venues will be used):

2 courts at Alamodome
St. Mary's U
U of Texas
Texas State U
UTSA Convocation Center
..........Starting with the Sweet 16, all games will be in San Antonio at the Alamodome

I REALLY hope they allow some fans (safety first) because it's only a couple hours and I might just Airbnb a place to go to as many games as I can!

Same. We will be there on 03/31. Hoping my daughter gets the ticket hookup! And fulfill my mom's wish for her birthday!

Awww...I hope so too! If we both make it there, we can wave at each other. Hahaha

Thanks. I was wondering. I know the men's tournament is going to be in Indiana but spread out. Thanks for clearing up the misunderstanding I had about the women's tournament.

I really like the no-dithering format.
Play every other day.

Let the best-conditioned teams be advantaged.

I predicted that a month ago. Like Geno, they must read the Boneyard too.

 

[Vowelguy]

Well they did at least shave 2 days off the timeline.

Also, after the first round, the venues change from the 6 to just the 4 in San Antonio. Seems disruptive for teams to have to travel and switch arenas between round 1 & 2. Why not just wait one more round?

 

[Monte]

Well, the NCAA announced over 7 weeks ago that it would be held in one area. They also said that they have been negotiating with sites in the San Antonio area. So, now they have made it official.

 

[Vowelguy]

Unless there are hotel capacity issues in S Ant, I'm surprised they're not having games at D1 Incarnate Word.

My daughter said they are hosting the first round

 

[DogWarden]

San Antonio is GREAT! Lots to do in and around the city. If you have never been there, give it a try. You wont regret it. Don't miss the "River Walk" and "The Alamo". Texans are great people!

GO HUSKIES!!!

Uhh, see Monte's post.
Or the link to NCAA.

 

[KnightBridgeAZ]

Uhh, see Monte's post.

Yes, but the original announcement in the San Antonio paper did list them and another location as well that did not make the final cut.

San Marcos is between San Antonio and Austin, so this all makes sense. Done those drives many a time with family in Austin.

My daughter is the GA for the basketball team. Pretty sure she would know

Yeah, she would know better than the official announcement from the NCAA.

Yeah, she would know better than the official announcement from the NCAA.

They are hosting. Just not at their gym.
