Stanford to host NCAA 1st & 2nd rounds

The Cardinal can enjoy the comforts of home as they begin their journey to the Final Four next March.

The University of New Mexico had been scheduled as one of the sixteen sites to host the first two rounds of the 2010 NCAA tournament, but their arena "The Pit" is undergoing a major renovation which may not be completed by March. So the NCAA announced today that it's moving the first and second round games from Albuquerque to Stanford.

If all goes well for the Cardinal at Maples, they will likely continue their journey without traveling very far — just to the Arco Arena for the Sacramento Regional.

I'm hoping they change the dates so we can go to both sets of 1st & 2nd Round Games in the Bay Area!

That would be great, but it doesn't seem likely. We'll just have to learn bilocation!
