Depends on how many games you play at the site. If you play three or more I believe, you can not. I could be wrong about the number. Well, we haven't made NCAAs yet. I have the same reaction as you, Meh. I would rather see the resources spent on improving the Athletic Department rather than hosting a tournament for Pitt. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: MFE08 's message, "Meh. I like that it brings this kind of an event to the city. As long as we're focused on MAKING it this time instead of settling for HOSTING it. Can the host school play at the site?" on Monday, September 21, 01:38:07pm

I'm pretty sure you can play up to 3 games at a site and then still be eligible to play there during the tournament. It would certainly be prudent to cap our games at Consol at whatever the cut-off number is for the 2012 season just in case. (NT) -- Padraig, Monday, September 21, 05:26:59pm
- What are the chances that the Big East, which has a lot of control (IMO) over the NCAA Tournament, banishing us to Anchorage or Santa Clara for those rounds and placing Pitt in the Consol bracket instead? I know I sound cynical, but the BE always seems to get what it wants. (NT) -- JCS 1980, Monday, September 21, 06:05:26pm
  - Theoretically both could play there. Different regions play at first round sites since the NCAA developed the "pod" format. DU could be in West and Pitt in East and still play at arena. If the NCAA were to ship out us out and keep Pitt at home (which could happen), I would be extremely angry. Also you can have this advantage and be a lower seed. They adopted this format to put fannies in the seats at the first round sites. (NT) -- A83, Monday, September 21, 07:59:03pm
    - I could see pitt and our Dukes playing here in 2012, that, for the city and schools would be awesome, and the place would be packed and loud for both games. Lets hope we can make it possible. (NT) -- thomas, Monday, September 21, 09:07:31pm
