Question: Where would LSU play Michigan if they both advance?

LSU plays St. Bonaventure at Assembly Hall, and Michigan's game is at Mackey Arena. Those locations are 2 hours away from each other.

Where would the round of 32 be played if both LSU and Michigan advance? Would they play at a 3rd location for that round? It'd be a huge disadvantage for LSU to have to play where Michigan already played a game and vice versa. Seems kind of odd to me that it was scheduled this way.

Did I miss something with the format change on how they'll handle this?

Was also wondering this.
Michigan won at IU earlier in February. Was just seeing if they have gotten shots up in assembly this year, they have.
I like to look at every little detail.

I kinda figured they would just move them to a different location for the second round, but I searched the website and found nothing. I'm just really curious about this.

I agree, our best bet would to play Rd 2 at Butler.
The way the week is happening, if you've looked, it probably hasn't been posted anywhere yet.

no, not at all. we such just go play Michigan in the Crisler Center.

there's a reason NCAAT games are played on neutral courts. it's to prevent competitive advantages. having to play our first game on a court that Michigan has already played a game would be a huge disadvantage to our shooters.

That Farmers Coliseum looks like a renovated Parker Ag Center on the inside.

These should be at Hinkle, but NCAA can’t make enough money there.
