Agreed. This is basically what we'll be watching for on Sunday. 1. PIG or no PIG? 2. Norfolk, Prairie View, FDU, NDSU, SHSU or Gardner Webb? 3. UNC, Zags, Kentucky, Tennessee, or UVA? 4. Columbus, Salt Lake or SC? I think you need to add in Duke as a possibility. If its Tennessee than Jacksonville is a possibility. As for Thursday vs friday, Columbus and SC are on Friday, so right now Friday is more likely than Thursday. As for time, if we are in the play in the game must be 2:30 or later and night becomes much more likely for next game (please night game!). Also it will be interesting to see who our 20th win will be against, so the 8 vs 9 match up opposite us is something to look for (could be St Chicken or Seton Noballs?)! Good point about Duke, especially with Zion Williamson back. No mention of Salt Lake City. It could very well be a viable option and if you are rooting for a night game, I'm most certain Gonzaga would be the last game of the night. Don't know how they would schedule the 1/16 games in Columbus, SC, and Jax.

Appears most are now hoping to avoid the PIG? I guess I'm in the minority, but for this team I prefer the PIG.

I will go to Dayton if that's where we're headed, but if we win that I will want to go see us take on a 1 seed, and my travel budget is tight at the moment.

Good work! Weber State is significantly higher than us in the NET rankings so I think we would need them to beat Montana and then lose in the finals to EWU or So Utah.

I want the pig game 1-Gives program national attention,especially a good story with 4 titles in a row,being 7-15 and winning 10 in a row,and 7 players. 2-Televised Nationally 3-Chance to get a”W” 4-Hopefully winning and everyone aware of our next game 5-Helps recruiting 6- Chance for more money for school and conference.

Selfishly okay with this as I'll be the Salt Lake City regional.

At the risk of annoying some, this team and Coach deserves a shot at an "equal" competitor on the national stage. Want all basketball fans to see this style of play over a 40 minute game - sharing the ball, the up-tempo pace, the offensive bursts, the switching defenses, the synergy of hard work. Then we will take on "Duke".
