and RU shouldnt agree to it, there are plenty of schools in league who havent done this yet and its on they are calling it super saturday where is the friggin hockey gameIt’s bad for the conference in the sense that it reduces the likelihood that RU agrees to it in the future.

3+ games at the same site is the rule so the only team in America that can't be in the east regional is St John'snot really if we cant play there because we had a home game there

What does that have to do with anything? I'm confused why you or any RU fan is okay with this

NoSince this is considered a home game now at MSG, does this impact our ability to get placed in the East Regional in the tournament, since the games are played at MSG?
Not sure what this means. You think the East Regional is restricted to teams that don't have (checks notes) a high Q3 neutral loss and a home Q2 loss to a school with a NET better than 60?

No kidding lol. As will our win at Mackey. Not sure how any of that is relevant to the NCAA screwing us out of a Q1 game. If you think that's no big deal then ok. I guess we'll see.I’m just saying those losses will have a much bigger impact on our seeding than this change will

Everyone is acting like this game is MAKE or BREAK where we’re playing in the Tourny. It won’t be. Relax.
There’s no vendetta against us…we’ll be placed where we’re deserved come March.
Just to expand on it...teams can't play in a venue where they've played 4 or more regular season games, or a venue in which they are hosting (final 4 excluded). So, you'll see a team like Villanova manipulate their games at Wells Fargo Center in years where it's a host to make sure they haven't played more than 3 games. St John's might have tried something similar this season with MSG (especially since they play only 4 games there), except that they are hosting it, so they were ineligible to play there regardless of their schedule.3+ games at the same site is the rule so the only team in America that can't be in the east regional is St John's
here is the deal, we shouldnt be finding this out just days before...SOMEONE MESSED UP HERE
Ultimately won't effect the outcome of the game. However it could give our guys a little more juice and motivation on top of this being a revenge game to begin with.here is the deal, we shouldnt be finding this out just days before...SOMEONE MESSED UP HERE
Thishere is the deal, we shouldnt be finding this out just days before...SOMEONE MESSED UP HERE
There is no upside to this move.
And if we lose, going into the next 2 difficult away games could set us up for a 3 game losing streak. Not a good look.
I hate everything about this. Now even more.
OBVIOUSLY it doesn’t affect the game itself. How could you possible think this is what anyone means? It affects the credit we get for the game, win or lose.That’s fair..to fans..sure. But again..this decision should have ZERO impact on the outcome

Yup. Bring our PA guy along too.Furthermore, if it's a home game the introductions better reflect that. Lights FULLY on for MSU's starting lineup. Lights off, spotlight on and our home intro for when our guys get announced
They made the announcement for the PSU game at the Palestra after the game that it was a home game for them, so it’s not an RU thing.here is the deal, we shouldnt be finding this out just days before...SOMEONE MESSED UP HERE
Do we want to maximize our chances of getting the highest possible seed?Are we a bubble team?
As alluded to earlier in the thread..they changed the PSU-Purdue from neutral to home AFTER the game was played.If this is, in fact, a change and it was considered neutral until today (which I don't know is true) then I want someone in the media to investigate what the process for making this change was made only 48 hours before tip. Who or what prompted someone at the NCAA to revisit this? Did Michigan State contact the NCAA? If not, who did? Have they ever done this 48 hours before tip before and what was it? When they talk about NCAA resumes and seeding they always talk about Quad 1 wins first. This will now not be a Quad 1 win but it would be for Michigan State. The difference in seeding has all sort of implications for both. For example, given our weak remaining conference schedule, we could conceivably go on a run and compete for #4 NCAA seed. When it comes to where teams play in the tournament, seeds thru #4 have priority for being placed close to home. That means the difference between playing at Albany and potentially MSG and travelling to Boise, Idaho or something. We already got cheated out of 1 Quad 1 win at Ohio State and this could be a second. Still pissed.
I’ve been consistently pro-MSG game until now so you’re making an inaccurate comparison in this caseA week ago this thread was full of complaints about playing on a neutral court. Now all the sudden neutral court matters……..sigh.
Again, let’s just win. We wanna prove we’re a top 25 team? We shouldn’t have an issue winning wherever we play. If this is an issue….we ain’t too 25
I have no idea what you mean, it’s pretty much the only issue here unless anyone was complaining about a longer commute to the gameThat’s not the issue at all and if it was it’s considered our home court. Lose lose. Quad 1 v Quad 2. Lesser seed in tourney?
A poster alluded to the fact we shouldn’t have found this out now. IMO doesn’t matter when we found out since it has no impact on game.
That was 100% a Penn State home game. Any ruling to the contrary would've been a travesty. I don't understand the process for doing this. Why would they possibly wait until 48 hours before or after to make a decision? Makes no sense.As alluded to earlier in the thread..they changed the PSU-Purdue from neutral to home AFTER the game was played.

Again. See the ncaa policy thread i started. It’s the same metro area…hence a home gameGame is played in an entirely differ state, but is a home game 🤦♂️
If we can’t win at the Garden, what difference does it make if they put us on the road. The value of getting a high seed for us is to get a shot to play in the Garden.Seeding? Imagine we end up being the best 6 seed and end up in Des Moines instead of a 2-3 hour drive up to Albany as a 5 seed because of this.
It's an absurd decision that is inconsistent with similar games all over the country this season.
Not following what you mean.If we can’t win at the Garden, what difference does it make if they put us on the road. The value of getting a high seed for us is to get a shot to play in the Garden.
The point of getting a high seed is to be able to play in the Regionals at the Garden. If we can’t win at the Garden, then what difference does it make where we play?Not following what you mean.
