Sunday play.

Thursday/Saturday Sites (The places they can play):

Round	City	Venue	Dates	Host
First/Second	Lexington, KY	Rupp Arena	March 20 - 22	University of Kentucky
First/Second	Providence, RI	Amica Mutual Pavilion	March 20 - 22	Providence College
First/Second	Wichita, KS	Intrust Bank Arena	March 20 - 22	Wichita State University
First/Second	Denver, CO	Ball Arena	March 20 - 22	Mountain West Conference
East Regional	Newark, NJ	Prudential Center	March 27 - 29	Seton Hall University
West Regional	San Francisco, CA	Chase Center	March 27 - 29	PAC-12 Conference

The places they cannot play because it's a Friday/Sunday Site:

Round	City	Venue	Dates	Host
First/Second	Seattle, WA	Climate Pledge Arena	March 21 - 23	University of Washington
First/Second	Cleveland, OH	Rocket Arena	March 21 - 23	Mid-American Conference
First/Second	Milwaukee, WI	Fiserv Forum	March 21 - 23	Marquette University
First/Second	Raleigh, NC	Lenovo Center	March 21 - 23	NC State University
South Regional	Atlanta, GA	State Farm Arena	March 28 - 30	Georgia Institute of Technolology
Midwest Regional	Indianapolis, IN	Lucas Oil Stadium	March 28 - 30	IU Indianopolis/Horizon League

So as you see these predicted brackets, remember that many of them are lining us up in places we can't play. (Currently looking at Joe Lunardi who has moved us from a Fri/Sun Regional to a Fri/Sun First/Second Round today.) (It's okay. The opponents are still relevant, but we can only end up in the East or West Region and only 4 of the first/second round sites.)

Also, because some Thu/Sat First/Second Round sites end up in Fri/Sun Regionals, the NCAA Tournament Committee does NOT have 50% of paths available in which they can place us. I've seen several posts saying it's not that hard, because 50% of slots can accomodate us, and that is not accurate.
