  1. Just from listening to commentators seemed like Duke was punching above it's weight with the guy now at UVA. Their stadium seemed weird, like very little bleacher seating almost everyone had to stand. There's obviously the private school factor and obviously their big donors are all in on hoops.

    Yes that stadium is indeed ready for a major upgrade. I get that some teams deserve a chance to host based on their merit of wins and losses, but watching those games on TV from Jack Coombs Field made me wonder what the selection committee must be thinking about going back there again if Duke were to host a regional. Give Duke credit for winning their regional at Georgia, thank you very much, but I assume they have better facilities than Murray State. I also get more schools are going to all turf fields the further north you go, but to me its a double negative when you don't have a good enough stadium to take away the lack of real grass to play on. In the future I hope the committee puts more thought into the facilities, fan interactions, and field conditions.
