I think the furthest we would go is Davidson. There are several teams in VA and NC that we could play.

I will be super ticked if we have to play Niagara again. I'm sick of them.

I assume traveling up to Harrisonburg wouldn't be much trouble ;)

For nothing more than personal reasons, I would rather our opponent be JMU or Pitt. I'm just throwing that out there.

Except that Liberty hasnt won the conference. Normally the Big South runner up stays home.

No kidding, let's win the conference before we talk that big.

Obviously he's using the assumption of us winning our conference tournament.

i think a opponent that is relatively close to you and that is definitely beatable would be a better choice.

If we did, I like our chances facing any team in the Commonwealth.

I would also think they would pair teams together with a similar RPI. For example...what good does it do for Davidson to play us? It does nothing but hurts their strength of schedule. JMU, on the other hand, is a similar RPI school.

ANY team in the commonwealth? Or just the ones participating in the BracketBuster games? After VA Tech downed UNC I am not sure I would "like our chances" against them.

The only reason I want to play WSU is to get Marshall back in here. Oh man that would be fun. They should flip the benches back over just for that night.

I bet he'd wear his rings, just so he could flash them at you. What an ego.
