How do you know we would go to Mizzou/DePaul. I could see us going to Mizzou since they've got a nice new gym and draw well, but see no reason why we wouldn't host DePaul.
I wouldn't assume just yet that because first round games have the home team on bottom that the brackets will stay that way. That would mean Davidson would be hosting Maryland, if they both won to that point. I doubt that will happen.
In fact...every conference is pretty well divided up...AZ State could play Oregon in a quarterfinal and Houston could play Memphis in a quarterfinal...but every other conference matchup couldnt happen until MSG and certainly not in the second round like Mizzou/A&M
