First/second rounds March 22/24 2019
Greenville gets it in 2022.

Women will have a regional final in Greensboro in 2019 and Greenville (SC) in 2020.

That's cool. That would be good for the city.
Couple of questions:
1 - On the men's side, can a team that makes a tournament, play first round games in their home gym? I thought they could not, but I may by incorrect. So if the men made the tournament in 2019, they couldn't play here? Or is that not the case.
2 - If the men hosted rounds 1 and 2, that likely means the women would have to play somewhere else as they couldn't play women's games on the alternate days due to men's teams practcining in arena, right? So Dawn's crew would have to play somewhere else.

Good for the city, but if the above are both true, it might be a small nummer for USC fans, no?

1. Yes they can.
2. I heard Jay Phillips talking about this just a minute ago. He speculated that we would get in touch with Greenville about their availability to host "our" first round games in the Women's Tournament.

Unless they changed the rule, the men cannot play on their home court. The only time it's allowed is the Final Four because those sites are selected so many years in advance and it's conceivable that a team could possibly make the Final Four when it's being hosted on their home court.

Unfortunately this unfairly penalizes the women's team in their first and second round games. Now both teams will have to travel.

Good grief. Why jump to answer a question if you have no clue? A team can't play on their home court in the tournament.

You beat me to it...But on twitter it says the Womens Regional in Greenville is 2019 and Greensboro 2020

I'm shocked that Greenville, SC is not hosting sooner after the success this year.

No, the men cannot play in their home gym in the NCAAT.

Yes, if the CLA hosts the MBB 1st and 2nd rounds, the women would have to host elsewhere (if they were a top 4 seed). They could host at another arena in SC.

Theoretically possible, yes. But more likely that a basketball team would be playing on their _football_ team's home field in the Final Four. Didn't the NCAA up the minimum capacity for Final Four venues to 70,000?

They have to be granted a waiver from the NCAA to travel outside of the 50 mile radius requirement.

Seems that way to me too
