Next Round Site

So how is the home team for the next round selected?  If Villanova wins, do they automatically get the home game?  If VCU wins, do they get the home game because they beat #1?  I know there is no "seeding", but is there any rhyme or reason to who's at home from here on out?  Or is it just a random decision by the NIT once the teams are set?  So many questions.

GO BULLS!

Nova would definitely have the home game.  Someone mentioned last night that if VCU wins, we get the home game.  Don't know if that's official though or not

Michael Kelly mentioned on the BullSpeedAhead podcast that we have put in to host any round that is available. He also stated that the YC has no conflicts with any of the dates.

This tells me there is some format/process to determine who the home team is.

Thanks John. This tells me there is no format/process after the first round.  You "put in" to host and hopefully the NIT gods approve it?

My guess is there is a process to determine who the home team is, but that involves a sacrifice to the NIT gods.

After the next game, the rest are in Indianapolis, so this confusion should go away after this upcoming round.

After next, next game.  Quarterfinals are at home sites.
