Loyola to Ohio St is under 450 miles.

Not 400 miles anymore?

Not 400 miles anymore?

I think they upped it a few years ago.

I think they upped it a few years ago.

According to this (2018-2019), it's still 400 miles.

Villanova had a tough loss this past weekend, but guess they're still getting projected to win the BE.
Think I'd much rather play them then Cornell again

That's what I came up with, too.

So, 3 flights.

If Cornell gets in theres a 90% chance their playing us in then 1st round. Only way we dont play each other is if they win out or we win out and force the committees hand which I think is a long shot. Same thing happened a few years ago with Albany and when SU as the 2 seed got stuck playing Yale because of the bs travel rules . Its 2019 the NCAA needs stop acting like its 1912

it will be interesting to see if UNC and ND can both play their way in or if its an either or.. UNC winning this week puts ND close to the under .500 and would a 7-7 ND team get in over teams with 9-10-11 wins no matter the schedule and the quality wins. do they have a 14th game scheduled anyway?

the last 4 in are in tough spots, JH loses the next 2 and they will need 2 B10 tourney wins to get to .500. OSU/Maryland at least 1 probably has 2 more losses

A loss to UNC this weekend puts ND at 6-6 with only the ACC tournament left to get a win or more.
I'm not sure a 7-7 ND team deserves to be in the field though.
