Marquette was put in the region closest to them. Marquette is closer to Minneapolis than Albany. Xavier and Syracuse were the candidates for the East region, Syracuse was higher seeded than Xavier on the S-Curve thus they got sent to Albany. Last time I checked Syracuse is 2 hours from Albany the game wasn't on Syracuse's home court. If we played a team that actually cared about basketball the arena wouldn't have been 95% Orange it still would have had a clear Orange majority, but you fall to realize the committee takes care of the top 16 seeds for the 1st and 2nd rounds since 2003.
In 1987 Syracuse was the 2 seed and North Carolina was the 1 seed the Elite 8 game was played in the Meadowlands in New Jersey was SU given an unfair advantage? By your logic, Yes because the 2 seed was closer. In 2010 Duke had beat  3 seed Baylor in Houston. Did Duke complain? No, they beat Baylor in Texas and won the title. I don't hear you saying anything about that.  Fact is this top 4 seeds get preference from the committee  for location and there is nothing more to debate as it is a fact.
