The University of Delaware women's basketball team, led by hometown girl Elena Delle Donne, play their 1st round NCAA tournament game against the University of Arkansas - Little Rock ...
at the University of Arkansas - Little Rock. UDel is a 3 seed, and UALR is a 14-seed. Is it common practice for the higher-seeded team to play the lower-seeded team on the lower-seeded team's home floor? That's one ingredient in the recipe for an upset.
I checked the bracket and all the other top seeds are either playing/played at home or at a neutral site. So how did UDel get stuck playing on the lower seed's home court? Well, I wish them luck. The country deserves a chance to see Delle Donne in later round games, so a first-round exit would not be good for them or women's basketball in general.
