I don't understand why they don't just move it to the Mack Sports Complex, is it being used for something that day?

This could be a tough one to miss but I'm sure your wife will fill you in. This should definitely have some media coverage I wonder if Flo sports will video this and show it afterwards! Of course Hofstra will but a lot of people showing interest as I walk around everywhere with Hofstra basketball garb. Even some Johnnies fans!!HUSID74 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2026 9:51 amYes, like my wife as I'm still in Florida watching where they send us so Ican book the trip!triplec2195 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2026 4:38 pm It's good to see all the support for this program maybe we'll have some special surprise guests!!

Exactly! They really should! That game is at 2 pm, the doors for the watch party open at 5 pm, about an hour after that game ends.
They just bumped it the entire team is IN STUDIO on CBS. Right now!dutchPride86 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2026 11:01 am Early start to the festivities for the team, national TV appearance on CBS at 12:28 this afternoon...

We''ll now forever be known as the school that celebrated twice on the Selection Sunday show. I was completely duped by it and couldn't believe Hofstra got a 12 and was paired with St. John's... until they weren't!Flying Dutchmen wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2026 11:49 pm Great event, strong crowd and a lot of excitement! I'm not a big photo guy, but I couldn't resist taking one with the championship trophy. Coaches and players were walking around conversing, great vibes. During the selection show, the video feed on the big screen cut from the program to our room after St. John's was announced, everyone rightfully thought that meant we got the 12 vs St John's! Obviously that ended up being some kind of technical glitch, hilarious seeing the confusion, and ultimately the joy of getting the 13 vs Bama in Tampa.
Thanks again to the staff for putting it together and doing a great job all year!
Not sure if anyone cares but apparently the UNI team was watching the video of Hofstra celebrating and CBS was showing UNI's blank reaction with the audio of Hofstra celebrating. While we at the viewing party saw our feed on the projector. Reporters in the Cedar Falls area have shared my video of our reaction as they're not particularity happy about their moment being ruined by CBS. Oh well. But yes event was great, I give it a 10/10 considering the Mack wasn't an option.Wags wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2026 4:39 amWe''ll now forever be known as the school that celebrated twice on the Selection Sunday show.

Then later, I couldn't believe who they drew since I was only joking about this with Estrada earlier on Sunday:

Love the range of expressions here from everyone in the front row in the first pic here, and love Edmead's and German's the most:
