Message: [QUOTE="Fightin Choke, post: 2588429, member: 2605"] Have you seen UConn's regional sites the past seven years? At least Lexington is driving distance for a bunch of schools with good basketball programs. But honestly, what other good teams are within driving distance of UConn's sites the past few years (Maryland is over 5 hours from all these sites)? And UConn fans dominate the attendance in these arenas, further adding to the advantage that UConn doesn't really need. 2018 Albany (132 miles, 2 hours 15 minutes) 2017 Bridgeport (78 miles, 1 hour 18 minutes and another site for UConn home games) 2016 Bridgeport (78 miles, 1 hour 18 minutes) 2015 Albany (132 miles, 2 hours 15 minutes) 2014 Lincoln Nebraska (1419 miles 21 hours, need to fly) 2013 Bridgeport (78 miles, 1 hour 18 minutes) 2012 Kingston (55 miles, 1 hour 29 minutes) For contrast, during this span, here are Notre Dame's regionals: 2018 ??, but either Lexington (326 miles but very doubtful), Kansas City (578 miles), or Spokane (1880 miles) 2017 Lexington (5 hours 13 minutes 326 miles) 2016 Lexington (5 hours 13 minutes 326 miles) 2015 Oklahoma City, OK (12 hours, 50 minutes 862 miles) Got to play 31-3 B12 champ Baylor in regional final 2014 South Bend (home site no distance at all) 2013 Norfolk VA (12 hours 6 minutes, 796 miles) 2012 Raleigh, NC (12 hours 2 minures, 728 miles) [/QUOTE]
