Welcome in Innsicrona Daily. It is March the 16th. It's March Madness Week. It officially begins. Well, it officially begins to me on Thursday night, but I guess officially officially begins on Tuesday night with the team in West Raleigh in one of the playing games in Dayton. But Greg, State being in one of those games, SMU being in one of those

games. I mean, it highlights the ACC and eight teams in. Big difference from last year. We can break

it down a little bit. But just getting eight sounds somewhat similar to the normal ACC of old,

at least numbers-wise.

It does.

And before we get too far along, let me just say this about any NC State fans listening to this.

If you have the opportunity to go to Dayton to watch a game, I highly recommend it.

My son and I made the trip to Dayton last spring. And they do it upright.

It's a challenging drive up to West Virginia, but it's a good road trip and just the whole

setup there at that arena is just first class and the whole community supports it so it's a fun scene and

we have to consider it now as part of the tournament Tommy I mean Carolina broke the seal on that

last year I mean that's if we're going to count that as a Carolina NCAA tournament win it's got

to count as the real deal, right?

So, I mean, I was muted, but whatever you say, it's just, it's another discussion for a different time, but they want to, I will say this about the play in games, and we can

just go off the rails right out of the gate on Monday morning. I think that if you win your conference tournament, you should not have to play in Dayton.

I agree.

And I think what, four of the teams are screwed into having to do that.

And that is not fair to me.

Dayton should be for teams like NC State and Texas and Carolina and San Diego State last year, those type

teams, your power four teams that are borderline in or out, not conference champions, but

I'll jump off my soapbox and let you jump up.

I think you're exactly right.
