Noticed that not a single First Four team is within 400 miles of Dayton. Two teams from California, two from North Carolina, one each from
Rhode Island, Kansas, Louisiana, and Maryland.
Will this be the worst attended First Four in history by opposing teams? I don't even know that any of these teams have a huge national following that will come in from the area... USC is probably the closest. Unlike what we have seen in the past from some combination of nearby teams and/or national names.
2013 probably comes closest to matching this slate. I mean, I'll still be there, but will be interesting to see what kind of crowds come in for this.
