I’m sure most of you saw this already 

for Bracketology purposes by doing this the committee can seed teams by the true seed list and not worry about geographical  rules that go into filling out a bracket

Somehow, IU will still get stuck in Boise ;)

I'm curious what the NCAA considers the metropolitan area of Indy and what facilities are in play, Assembly Hall perhaps?

I mean you’ve got BLF, Lucas oil. Then basketball arenas on several college campuses around the city. Butler, Marian, IUPUI doubt they would have to go out towards Bloomington

Since at this point, spectators would be limited in number, any gym that meets NCAA size requirements would be adequate and we certainly have enough of those within an easy drive of downtown Indy.

Butler University

Someone on the Pacers subreddit (read, take it for what it’s worth) is saying they’re going to go NBA bubble style and set up as many courts as possible in the Convention Center and then use BLF for the Final Four. 
 

If they’re going to the trouble of setting this up in one location, no chance the general public is allowed in, thus making the Convention Center the obvious choice.

True, without having to accommodate fans there are a lot of possibilities.

Completely shocked!  The return game will probably be in Detroit because Coach k.

Still more likely to get a return game from them than UK. 

True, although I'd put money on it either being neutral court of part of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.  Dook playing on an opposing team's home court is highly unlikely if they're not forced.  I believe they've played exactly 2 true road games since the start of the 2015 season.  Those were in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
