I doubt they wait until Thursday night to set up the Friday games. That is too quick a of a turnaround. St. Francis (PA), Campbell & Samford all won tonight in addition to us on Monday. Three Baptist schools and a Catholic for good measure. I wouldn't be surprised to see us host St. Francis on Friday unless UMBC wins tomorrow night.

Multiple people have mentioned that we will host a game on Monday. I've asked if that's official and get a "no." So, who knows. Top 3 seeded teams after the first round receive a 1 round bye. Of course, we haven't been officially notified of how teams are seeded.

Most likely 2nd round opponents based on geography include St Francis (PA) who won Tuesday night, UMBC if they win Wednesday night, Saint Peters if they win Thursday, or the winner of the Furman/USC Upstate game Thursday. Though I would expect Furman and Saint Peters are in the running for a bye.

Sly, if it happens, enjoy the game (and McCracken) but avoid the lukewarm nachos like the plague. :nono

So if I math right...if you have 6 or more people, it's cheaper to buy 10 tickets. Then maybe scalp the other 4 for $7 each at the door and make more than half your money back?
