Which begs the question again, McMorning: How is the home team determined? I would argue that it is not totally random as I will be facing my seventh consecutive road opponent. However, then I see that three of the II teams go on the road at NBBA teams, which fact seems to fly in the face of my beliefs that somehow the lower-division teams have at least a slight advantage toward gaining HCA. Does anyone know how HC works? Pappy

If I were an NBBA team, I'd be more upset at playing another NBBA team than at playing on the road for games a bit more than 50-50... meaning that I care more about the draw than the HC determination I guess.. Especially since the last few rounds are neutral court now.

I think that it's all random, both factors, the draw and the host. Random drawing & weighted hosting may seem like a good combo for 'competitive balance'

This is true as far as I know.

At least you have HCA.

I hit the end of mine; mostly thanks to botching last week's cup lineup and having crappy GS this week, and partly for TIEing on the road against a CT.
