Old Titan Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 OUTSTANDING! Now, we need to start working on a two-year plan to be a #12 seed in Tulsa in March, 2011 - it could happen!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmh8286 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Wouldn't that be something - to have a chance to play int the Tournament in our home town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORUTerry Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Great news.... now we have to get to the tournament. This could give us the push to make some noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogus Smith Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Do we know who the host institution is for this Tournament? I saw where Oakland is the host institution for the 2013 Tournament at The Palace for the first two rounds (like they did in 2007). If we're the host institution, I'm not sure what that would do to the chances for being placed here. Hopefully ORU will have an involvement in the Tournament, either as the host or co-host with TU.

ORUTerry Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 TU is the host........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogus Smith Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 TU is the host........ Prolly works to our benefit if we're a Tournament Champion coming out of the Summit League. They might send TU elsewhere as a host institution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndsubison1 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 i dont believe teams can play in their own city... which is why memphis wasnt placed in the memphis bracket, syracuse in the syracuse bracket and minnesota coulndt play in the first round in minneapolis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Teams can play in their home city...just not in their home arena......Villanova played in Phila. last year because it was played at the Wachovia Center and not on the Nova campus....and this was despite the fact that Nova plays 3-4 home games a year there against big time opponents on the schedule like UCONN, Georgetown, Louisville, etc.....

TrueBlue82 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 This was discussed in another thread - but I'll copy it here. In summary... the Eagleman is right. After consulting the NCAA's "principles and procedures" for establishing the tourney bracket - I found these provisions related to "home court advantage" and "hosting". 1) To recognize the demonstrated quality of higher ranked teams, the committee shall not place teams seeded on the first five lines (1-5 seeds) at a potential “home-crowd disadvantage” in the first round. 2) A team will not be permitted to play in any facility in which it has played more than three games during its season, not including conference post-season tournaments. 3) A host institution’s team shall not be permitted to play at the site where the institution is hosting. However, the team may play on the same days when the institution is hosting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the team may play on the same days when the institution is hosting. And I still say Rules #2 and #3 don't apply to ORU (since we don't play in the BOK Center during the season, and we're not the host), and that Rule #1 is vague and doesn't apply if we're playing a team like OU, OSU, Arkansas, or even Kansas (any of whom the committee knows would have absolutely no "potential home-crowd disadvantage" playing little ol' ORU in the 16,000+ seat arena).

theeagleman5 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 OT is correct....ORU could definitely be assigned to games at the BOK Center if we make the tournament in 2011.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
