Lexington NCAA??

[dailydoublecat]

There is a great chance that you guys will play in Lexington for the NCAA tourney!! It is going to be a great tourney indeed!! I know there are a few KY Florida fans that post here. Are you hearing this as well??

[gatorbogey]

that's the closest 'pod' to us - maybe washington d.c. too (but that's acc territory). if we're a top seed or 2-seed, it would likely we'd be there, even if we're shipped out to the "west region."

[CoachSayre]

Yeah that's where we should go. Duke will go to DC.

[BengermanV]

I wonder if UK fans would cheer us? I know we think of you guys as a rival, but most times I visit your opposing fan sites, most people seem to really appreciate Billy Donovan and what he's done here.

Yes sir. I live just outside Lexington, I'd definitely be there.

Louisville resident here. I'd definitely make it to the Sat/Sun game!

Hell yes KY people would cheer for you!! Your an SEC school and although a rival they would love to see you roll!! Heck I bet Bert will be there as support.

I know he argues to the contrary, but I cannot picture him ever pulling for us.

[gatorbogey]

i've witnessed plenty of 'cat fans in atlanta during an sec-tourney game rooting 'for' the gators. maybe it's the influence of 'me' being near them that does it :) ;)

[kygator]

I believe the games in Lexington will be Thursday and Saturday. I'd see if I could make it for at least one of them if the gators are here.

[REM08]

I'd definitely try and be there. I think it'd be a home atmosphere for the most part.

[g8tr82]

I moved to Louisville in December. I will be there.

[gogators73]

I'm sure a lot of Kentucky fans will go to our games if they aren't playing on TV at the time. I wonder if we get in a close one if they will cheer for or against us? I'm betting against.

[gulfgator]

It looks like UF has about a 90% chance of playing in Lexington, which means an opening Thursday game. Going to need to fly into Vegas on Weds instead of Thurs, but I'm not complaining ;)

[oneatatime]

weird that there were no first and second round sites in the south.

The NIT typically doesn't schedule games at the same time as the tourney.

[DreadnaughtCane]

Just a question......it looks like the closest site for UF, UM and Duke is Lexington. How in the world would they sort that out?

probably send miami or duke to washington d.c.

[DreadnaughtCane]

Unless I'm looking at the wrong thing, DC isn't a site until the round of 16.

[themistocles]

That actually would be a pretty good pod. SEC fans tend to root on SEC teams when facing non-SEC teams, like in the NCAA tournament, just like Washington's Big East/ACC fans tend to root on Big East or ACC teams against teams from other locales.

[REM08]

I think too many of you look to catspause when trying to figure out how the UK fan base feels about feels about something.

I'll pull for Florida having grown up close to the state and with gator fans in the family. I also just like some of the things about the program, objectively. However, even for the average UK fan up here who has no connection to UF whatsoever, you guys very well may represent the best chance of keeping the hated trio of UL, Indiana or Duke from winning another title. You guys will have support.

[GatorPlanet]

I like it that our last regular season game will be at Rupp Arena, just in case we'll be playing there in the NCAA tourney.

Also, and correct me if I'm wrong, the Final 4 is in Atlanta, where we also play in the SEC tourney.

It helps a team get acclimated to and comfortable with these big spaces.

The SEC tourney is in Nashville this year. It will be in Atlanta next season.

yes, you are right, my bad.
probably send both miami and florida to lexington; we'd just be in different regions, most likely.

or, would you guys rather go up to the n.e. (to philly)?

[gatorbogey]

speaking of mobilizing the lexington / midwest gator fans to attend the 'pod' in lexington....might start thinking ahead. get those gator fans in the LA area planning ahead for the regional - if we're in the west regional and advance. or D.C gator clubs...or, perhaps, gator clubs in texas. put in for provisional vacation 'now' to attend the games!

[austingtr]

The Texas Gator clubs would show up big of that I have no doubt.

You can be in different regions and play in same site/pod in the opening and 2nd round games.

[TampaGatorFan]

I'll be looking forward to Atlanta. :joecool:

[GothamGator]

Good to hear from our UK guests that we'd have a good reception in Lexington. I am definitely concerned about whether we might get sent to a hostile atmosphere.

[Noahtogo24]

I've received my tickets to the D.C. regional, so I'm hoping Florida is in the East region.

[Gator_Joe]

If we end up in Lexington, we will have an abundance of support. 90% of my family are Uk fans as I am from Ky. One thing I know is Uk has diehard Kentucky fans, but they are also diehard SEC fans. (Other than UT) I feel we will have a great support base playing in Rupp. If we end up there I will be at the games.

[ReggieNelson]

I could see Duke ending up in philly if they are a high seed
