Couple that with Kentucky fans likely rooting for Dayton (probably see us as the easier second-round draw) and we can create an environment similar to Columbus in 2015. That was as close to a home-game feel as you'll ever get short of a First Four game.

I wouldn't underestimate how WSU travels though. Last year they were in Providence, and I was there, and they had the best following of the 8 schools and that included Duke.
