Vandy faces perennial neutral site opponent NC State in game 1 and will face either BYU or Arizona State the next day in Las Vegas.

We just faced two of those teams in the last couple of seasons. We faced ASU at home in 2019 (the season we also faced NCSU) after playing them on the road in 2018. And all of the NCSU matchups were on neutral courts - maybe we should just schedule home and homes with them.

This will be Vandy's FIFTH different neutral site matchup with NCSU since 2004 (including that year's NCAA tourney). And they've all been at different sites--Orlando, East Rutherford, Miami, Chicago, and now Vegas. Strange.
