Its only because they take into account those last set of games, not the first two...

They also like to use neutral sites if they can. It doesn`t always work out that way though.

Another big factor in choosing the sites is money.
Imagine that! :D
For the first round of the Women`s NCAA Tournament to be held in Des Moines, IA, Iowa State as the host team, had to guarantee the NCAA $76,117.
The men`s tournament hosts probably have to guarantee at least that much if not more.

I always remembered the East games being in the East, the South being in the South, MidWest being in the MidWest and the West being in a western state:passout:

And I thought math was my weak subject, looks like I didn`t do too well with geography, either. :confused:
