Sidenote: I was playing with the NCAA mileage calculator and came up with something that surprised me: Adrian can be bussed to Oswego. Adrian can be bussed to Elmira. Adrian must be flown to Utica (548 miles institution to institution)???![]()
Regarding Utica / Adrian, wouldn't it be the other way around because there is a high school tourney going on?
We don't know for sure...HS games are usually done by four or five.
Either direction, it doesn't matter. If the distance is more than 500 miles, it won't happen. Adrian's opponent (assuming they qualify) will be one of the teams in the field within 500 miles of them. If there are none, then it will be interesting.
Even though this may not be relevant, Remember that Utica does not play on-campus. However, it'd still be over 500 miles.
According to the Aud website, there are 4 games scheduled for the Saturday in question assuming UC either gets a bye or wins the play-in game the Wednesday before - this was covered on the UC thread, but I don't think there is enough time for NCAA mandated ice time for practice for both teams..and the start time for Saturday night would be later than the NCAA specifies....The HS games are usually at 12 and three oclock...would be over by 5:30 ! I don't see why an 8 PM start wouldn't be fathomable...unless there's an issue with the day's practices as PROF said.
