mookie reads those words and the first thing that comes to mind is ALBANY

If I had to choose between the two cities, it would be a tie, neither have much to offer as do most East/Northeast venues.

Just a short 90 minute drive to the Ommegang Brewery! We'll be there - hoping to find a nice place for Easter dinner before the game.

I have six breweries on a short list... I'm arriving late Friday night. My list is on my laptop at home.

I'm going to start at shmaltz around noon and then work my way back into town.

Sunday could be a bit hinky with the holiday and all.

There are some really good restaurants in Worcester. Unfortunately, you have to drive to most of them.

My only impression was when I attended the Yale upset of Dakota back in the day. We spent too many hours in Moynagh's and ate somewhere forgotten.

I am driving from Washington DC. Everybody else shut up... story over.

Why? There are direct shuttles from IAD to Albany. I haven't looked recently but they used to be dirt cheap.

If not "the 2013 revenge bracket" this bracket should be called "the bracket the NCAA doesn't give 2 shats about."
It's a shame QU (the #1 overall seed) doesn't get the respect to be placed in Worcester which is a quick drive up 91 and 84.
Instead they get moved to a venue much closer to their opponent.
On top of that playing a game 7:30pm on Saturday and then again on Easter Sunday tells me the NCAA figured they would be able to fill up Worcester with Boston based fans and in essence forget about Albany bracket.

Hey remember how in 2015 #4 seed Providence got a home game in Providence for the regional (Brown hosting, not PC) and then won NCAA.
Because I sure do.

Shut up your whining is the moral of this story

I went with three. NU, Lowell, Northeastern and Denver. Because ... why not?

So Northeastern has to play TWO games? That's unfair

Well ... they deserve it.

Ha, oops. OK, NU, Lowell, BC and Denver. Thanks for pointing this out.
